Its a a single pot and it was a new one, not rebuilt. I always just buy rebuilds, why I bought the new one, probably figured it would be better!?:BangHead: No doubt made in China and maybe a Chinese rebuilt is better!!! :BangHead: I fire it up ever so often, and move it 10 feet or so, but it...

I have to admit, my muscles and joints have all gone South and it is so hard to do anything anymore. That will be on my "list"!!

But since, the brakes and pedal were fine at time of rebuild, can the rod be too long? I guess an adjustable rod would be a good choice?? Dr. Diff?? If I pull the MC and put it in the vice for bench bleed, I will know of the Piston is moving normal, right?

Did that, I see no bind there. With the bolts loosened, the pedal will move about 1/2 inch or so. Would this not have to be a situation where the piston on the MC is not moving all the way. Like I mentioned, when I rebuilt the brakes and bleed it, I had normal pedal action and brakes. I...

I will try that tomorrow!!

66 273 MANUAL drum brake, single pot MC. It was a running project ( sorta) NO brakes, so I rebuilt ALL the brakes, and as in NEW MC, wheel cylinders, shoes, hardware, hard and soft lines, bled it manually and all was good. Yard drove some, normal pedal and stop, the steering box is complete...

Every hose I found required the vent bolt hole to be bored out to 9/16 which I did. I did use the 75 Maverick, the later one and it works. Bought the same hose, same manu. from rock for about $9 instead of $35.

Funny part is this rear end was 75 Maverick, and Rock nor O Reilly nor anyone has the correct hose. I tried all sort of models but thank you, the Bronco looks like it might work!! Like the ford guy says " Ford ain't easy but what is!" Answer: Nothing!!

Thats for the info. It does not give the diameter but the length looks correct. The Bronco's hose is closer to right the the F100. Life should not be this hard!!

I have a 64 Comet that I changed the rear end to a 75 Maverick v8 8 inch rear. The rear brake hose has the brass fitting and the vent bolt is 1 inch. I have ordered several rear brake hoses for 3 different models, the 75 Mav , 69 Torino, 66 Fairlane theu Rock... everyone has the smaller...

The OP jus :thumbsup: :steering: :poke: t asked if he could borrow a chain.

Like the tie back in Mo. when the wife was flat towing my Duster and me with a log chain...she was gong 60 down the hill so she could get back up the hill ( doing what I asked? 70!!!?) I was scare'd!!!! :steering:

^^^Hey guys! Don't you watch RoadKill Garage where FriedBurger and DullChic where they are at a boneyard and get a car or truck that has sat there 40 years, running and pour some brake fluid in that old MC and hit the road with BRAKES!!!!! OK sometimes they find another old MC that is only 30...

My 65 Cuda I had 273 2 bbl car had 10 inch drums.

I will add my 2 cents, I have built many of these old cars over the decades, most came with manual drum brakes, I have never had any trouble don't them in manual drum or disc and any trouble stopping. Like said, the right parts work fine. There is difference in bore of MC wheel cylinders...

Yes. It involves cutting the swedged lugs to get the hub from the drum. Ya don't get beat it off.

Called a distribution block. You have an issue with the hard line or even a hose, MC, or like he said maybe that block.

Offset might be a factor?? Dunno!

I would suggest go to the search thread and hunt. There are probably 1 million threads on this topic and as many different solutions!!

I prefer manual, and never had any problems in the last 70 years. OK so make that 55. But we live in the sticks and drive around few idiots too.

Like said^^^ there is no need for booster. But I am a guy that prefers manual steering too.

^^^ Non Mopar parts? I put "replacement" new parts on my Mopars all the time, the China chit breaks after a week or month usually! All I can get too! ha... Wait. it ain't funny!

I am so old and old fashioned I still build my old Mopars with drum brakes!!! And I even have all the parts in the shed to convert them to discs!!!!! ha

If you can not use your OM SB wheels why would you want their setup, Dr.Diff or whoever!? Guess I miss the point.

The backing plate will dictate what it is as far as a kit and shoes. LIke said by other, bet it is out if a BB 65-70 B body, fit right in the A body.

I admit I did not notice about the 11 inch drums either. Yep be sure to measure, I don't believe it would have come OEM on a 71 Duster. If 11 inch in fact, you just need a hardware kit for 11 inch and right shoes. Notice not all kits contains all the pieces of the puzzle!

I just ordered all the stuff from Rock also. I always check prices between Rock, O Reilly etc. and compare. Just ordered shocks from Rock. Same part number was twice as high at O Reilly as with shipping with Rock. Not always the case.' Wonder how many billions the O Reilly family...

^^ Every car is a little different. That longline basically oe from the dist block back it will do thru the sub frame thru a small hole then go along inside of rocker, you will either see clips there that hold it one, or holes for the clips to go in there it goes back to rear wheel housing...

Not sure IF inline tube has pre bet for 7 1/4. I have also bought new rear brake lines with the block made on the line.

I really have no desire to press out the old studs they are fine I just want to get the old drum OFF! I can't see how the drum as thin as it is the hub an not just be pressed of the drum with the studs there? I bet RRR is correct in a previus thread on this, he said take a 5/8 in hole saw and...
