My Dad inherited a '67 Dart 270 with a 225 Slant Six in it and the regular 3 on the tree automatic transmission. We have been restoring it for a little less than 3 months, I guess, and for an old lady's car that she drove after she retired only 1 time a week to the grocery store (she lived next...

May have to try that if the other hose is too expensive.

Thanks very much for the input. I found their website (http://www.getdiscbrakes.com/) and emailed them a minute ago. I hope they have something we can make work. I sure appreciate your help!

I bought a Raybestos 24058 rear brake hose from Rock Auto to replace the old one on our '67 Dodge Dart 270/225 automatic. Come to find out it's not long enough to fit in the mounting hole and to reach for the back brakes. I actually bought 2 hoses before realizing we only needed one replacement...

It was my fault on that drum problem... I looked closer last night, and somehow the adjuster wheel assembly had maneuvered itself into the wrong spot. Instead of being attached to the vertical notch it was somehow attached at the bottom of the shoe, making them too wide to get the drum on. What...

Pretty interesting info. I figured it must have been something like that, but that's great to know!

The adjuster is completely tightened down, and the back brakes only have the strut bar and spring. That's what the shop manual shows, too, that the bar and spring only go on the back.

Pretty interesting. I didn't think it was a big deal when I saw it in 2 pieces, but it's nice to know there's nothing wrong with it!

I'll check tonight, but I know there aren't any bars or equalizers on the fronts. I'll check the adjusters, though. I checked the driver's side adjuster against the passenger's side adjuster, and they were the same size.

I made sure to take pictures before I took everything off just so I'd make sure I would get everything back on correctly AND am checking the shop manual as I go. Here's what the brakes looked like before I took them off: You can see a little of the grease/dirt on the shoes on the outsides...

Cool profile pic, by the way! Here's the Dart so far (obviously not in the garage up on stands - this is from a couple of weeks ago)... 89,615 original miles - sat more than 4 years in a shed after my Great Aunt got sick. After she died a few weeks ago she wanted my Daddy to have it, so we've...

Good questions. I had a time just trying to get the passenger's side drum off to begin with, and that was with about 12,000 miles or so already on those older shoes. I've got all the shoes correct on both sides (I've checked, rechecked and checked again with the shop manual and have them...

I am in the process of reworking the brakes on our '67 Dodge Dart with 9" drums all around. The driver's side has really been no problem so far, and I have replaced the wheel cylinder, shoes and springs with Raybestos parts from RockAuto.com. Looks like somebody must have previously stripped...

Thanks very much for the info on the gas tank! That's going to be one of the first things I end up doing to clean it out. What is the best solution to pour into the gas tank to clean it? I had a suggestion from someone to put a chain in the tank to knock out any of the rust as we're cleaning it...

I wish I had pictures, but the car is in a shed about an hour from my house. Maybe I can get some Friday, and I hope we can get it back to my house Saturday on a dolly behind my brother's truck. I'm going to be the main one getting it all done, though, since I go down there more often than...

My Daddy just inherited an automatic on the column 1967 Dodge Dart (I think 225 Slant Six) that only has 89,586 original miles on it from my Great Aunt Mary who died at the young age of 103 a few weeks ago. Daddy helped her buy this car brand new in 1967 from one of the Darlington, SC sales, and...
