Don't forget to take your old master cylinder to the parts store when you buy the new one as they usually have a core charge.

It's a good question. I think most Chrysler vans back in the 70's were built on truck platforms so I'd be surpised if you can use the break components on a passenger vehicle, especially an A body. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_B-series_van

m, give this a shot; check out the General Information on page 3 of this document, http://wilwood.com/PDF/DataSheets/ds758.pdf Note "Figure 2. Wheel Clearance Diagram". Cross-reference the measurements in this diagram with what you get off your wheels. This should tell you if your 14" wheels...

Have you checked out the Wilwood kits for 9" spindles? http://wilwood.com/BrakeKits/BrakeKitListFront.aspx?make=Dodge&model=Dart&year=1970&frttype=Drum&reartype=Drum&modoption=9"%20Inch%20Drum%20Brake%20Spindle Gotta go with 15 inch wheels with this one...

Thanks Guys, Looks like these are both good companies depending on what you are looking for. Here's a start to a company comparison. Company: BAER BRAKE SYSTEMS Web: http://www.baer.com/ Email: Use online form Phone: (602) 233-1411 Location: Baer, Inc. 2222 W. Peoria Ave. Suite B...

This is just my opionion, but stopping is just as important (if not more) as going fast. Out there on the freeway, our little drum brake equipped A-bodies are competing with modern vehicles with high-tech suspensions and high-quality, four-wheel disc brake systems. And I'm pretty sure that other...

If you already have your Mopar Rallye wheels for a 71 Demon, don't forget to pay attention to the bolt spacing too. The 73'- 76' Disc brakes use the 4 1/2" bolt spacing.

Thanks Red, I ended up posting a want add on Craigslist and got a couple hits for some used drums. I'm going to go take a look at them this weekend and see if they have any life left in them. Cheers,

Hi Redfastback, I contacted rockauto.com and asked about the Wagner part number "BD60123". They said, "While we do sell the BD60123, the manufacturer doesn't list that drum for the rear of your vehicle" (my vehcile being a 72' Plymouth Duster with 8 3/4" rear end). Where did you get your...

Thanks for the tips everyone.

Hi Guys, Can anyone tell me where I can find a good set of 10" x 1.75" brake drums for a 1972 Plymouth Duster with an 8.75" rear end? I believe the Chrysler part number is "3580551" and I think these were used on all 1971-72 Darts, Dusters, and Valiants with V-8 or six-cylinder with...

Just looked at mine real quick and it looks like the passenger side is on the side towards the firewall.

Thanks guys. I think next time I'll try the 2x4 on the firewall method.

I replaced the master cylinder on my 72' Duster yesterday and it would have been a relatively simple job if I didn't have to spend so much time trying to separate the brake pedal push rod from the master cylinder. I ended up removing the internal components from the old master cylinder and...

I have a 72' Duster that made an explosive sound in the front end recently. I immediately pulled over but couldn't find anything wrong with the car externally. I started driving again and when I braked noticed a noise coming out of the front end. Come to find out after pulling the brake drum, a...

Hi Guys, I have a 72' Duster with standard front drum brakes. I want to replace the drum brakes with front disc brakes from a 74' Dart with power brakes. Can I just leave the power assist unit off and use the master cylinder off of the 74' Dart as a standard brake master cylinder or is the...
