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...

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...
