I have 9 in drum brakes in the front of my 1968 Dodge Dart 270 SL-6 2 DR HT. The bleeder screw in the brake cylinder is a bear to turn with my angled 5/16 in wrench. Can anybody recommend a longer bleeder screw that will make my life easier? Perhaps DORMAN and a p/n? OEM size is 1/4 in x 28 and...

Simple question. Has anybody ever performed a brake system check for air leaks using a M/C cover clamped to the M/C for no air leaks, no air leaks at M/C F/R ports, no air leaks at brake warning switch ports F/R, no air leaks at rear distribution block, and no air leaks at any 4 bleeder screws...

Greetings A Body Folks: Are the pedal links from an A-Body booster the same in length for a B-Body Booster.? I think my A-Body Booster pedal link is wrong in length. I cannot set the brake pedal to 1 in of travel before the brake lights come on. My car is an A-Body 1968 Dodge Dart 270 SL-6 2 DR...

I need the original OEM (used?) pedal link from brake pedal to Power Booster (8 1/2 in Midland Ross) power lever for 1968 Dodge Dart 270 SL-6 2 DR HT. I don't think mine is correct. My brake stop switch is totally off measurement for 1 in of brake pedal and brake lights come on. I am pretty new...

Guess what? Figured it out. The M/C keeper is actually the piston retainer with screw. Lot to learn. Thx....Dana

Thank you, Dana. Sorry....what is the M/C keeper?? Still knew at this expensive hobby but getting closer to the end. Can you reflect on the PB pedal link? Last restoration house gave me an anodized pedal link after install of PB. I don't know which one is correct. It seems measurements are...

Hi and Hello I have a 1968 Dodge Dart 270/SL-6 and need to know the push rod setting for an OEM Midland-Ross 8 1/2 in Power Booster and M/C that is aftermarket but fits the application for the Dodge Dart w/ 9 in shoe drums. The manual says 0.910-0.920 in using a Bendix M/C p/n 2225601. Can I...

so sorry, my bad. Wheel studs are for a 1968 Dodge Dart 270/SL-6, 9 in drum brake(s) on all 4 wheels. Buggered up threads on only 1 drum, 1 stud, F/R., right at the very end of nut travel....darn!!!!!! Don't know how this happened. I am going to try to restore threads with a LANG 7/16-20 die...

I know lots of conversation on ABF for the removal of wheel studs in a 9 in drum. Now attempting to order replacement wheel studs for this application. What is the DORMAN p/n or equivalent vendor p/n for the above application?? I am getting ready to order DORMAN 610-024 which is 7/16 in x 20...

ok.... thank you so very much. Explain initial agistment pls. I adjust the star wheel on ea brake assy (all 4 wheels) so i have minimum or a slight drag. Ea wheel has just about the same drum shoe separation when I measure across from outside shoe to outside shoe (horizontal measurement)...

You asked, "by itself". Answer is no. I depress brake pedal and pedal goes to floor. Pedal returns high when released. Will remove M/C today.

Thought I was home free with new brake m/c on all wheels, new brake pads front and rear, rebuilt power booster from KARPs, reset power brake push rod to spec per FSB, bleed brakes, nice and firm pedal, stated car and WOW....pedal goes to floor. What is going on, wifey says "sell it". Original...

hi mopar: I need the original OEM A/T cooler lines for 1968 Dodge Dart SL-6 application. The last restore shop did a poor job bending and fitting lines to OEM radiator. I have one line kinked and would like to replace. Please send pictures. InLine Tube and Right Stuff produce lines for A-Body...

PM me and we will talk more. Do you have R/R PB lever?? Found 2 yesterday PM me with your cell and we will talk more.

Another screw up from the restoration shop in NH. I need the PB lever for the R/R 9 in brake drum. MOPAR P/N is 2265-360-1 and probably has "BENDIX" stamped on it with BENDIX P/N. My lever is aftermarket and binds on the rear brake shoe. Real stupid and should have been caught during assembly...
