The prior owner may have been trying to duplicate a fuel line ground strap. It helps complete a ground for the fuel gauge. DMPS-11097-GSE Mopar Fuel Sending Unit Ground Strap 7" Long - dantesparts.com

The rubber "keeper" fits around the pushrod to keep it from coming out of the master cylinder. Your old pushrod should have one. The pushrod can be a pain to get out. The last one I did, I loosened the master cylinder at the firewall and put a spacer in between the firewall and the master...

Found the thread. The OP posted a picture of how the shoe nub fits against the wheel cylinder. Post 15 and 22 are good. Brake Shoes sitting wrong

There was a thread that covered this a while back. 9" drums did not use pins in the wheel cylinder. I'll see if I can find it. I don't have personal experience with 9".

From you photo, it looks like there are no pins in the wheel cylinder.

You got it, Rob. I can tell when my "parking brake" is on. Now, when I decided to adjust the cable, it took 3 days of PB Blaster to get the adjusting nut to move.

Can't say it hasn't happened to me...well, I could but I'd be lying :D At least you found out your brakes need adjusted.

It's a vent. Here's one Doctor Diff sells. It goes through the distribution block. Mopar Rearend Vent Bolt

Just mailed a 5x7 photo in a thin frame 70 miles and it cost $5.00 USPS.

When I first went from a single pot to the MC36415 I "think" the stock rod was too short. Dang, It was about 9 years ago and I'm not certain. I still have my original and may try it in the 36406, although the adjustable one works fine.

Yours could be from a kit, or something, but it could work. I went with a Raybestos MC 36406 (15/16" bore) after not liking a MC36412 with a 1-1/8" bore. The MC36406 works much better. It's easier to push, but does travel a bit lower. I also went with an adjustable push rod. I looked...

Here's a picture of the master cylinder on my 66 barracuda.

Can you post pics of your master cylinder? If you're using a smartphone you can click on the upload photos button, then select camera and take a picture. Then click post reply.

I haven't heard that before. I "think" I may have installed my pushrod before installing the master cylinder, but I can't be sure. Not sure why the rod wouldn't go all the in until the retainer seats. All you're trying to do replace the air with fluid. Here's a picture from when I did mine...

Nice work! Yeah, those old slants (heck, even 318's) are bullet proof. Keep us posted on your car.

Hey man, no worries, we're here to help! Shoot, my 66 Barracuda drums will be hard to get off after 6 months. So, we all know how much of a bear they can be. Funny thing is...when it comes loose, it seems to come all at once.

The blue thing is not attached to the drum. Here's a picture showing the adjuster at the bottom. Thete is a slot on the bottom of the backing plate. Stick your screwdriver in and rotate the star screw to close the shoes together. Drums get stuck. After you move the adjuster in, beat on...

It moves pretty quick, for sure!! The last forum "system" we were on called it a PM or DM. I can't remember which. When we updated to this one it changed to "conversation ". Reminds me of when the Air Force changed from "salvage" to "Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office"!!!

On FABO it's called a "conversation". You click on the member's screen name, then click on "start a conversation" and send them a "private message".

I 3rd a 15/16". When I replaced the original 1-pot on my 66 Barracuda I went with a 1- 1/8". Yup, it was hard as a rock. Swapped to a 15/16" and bam, just the ticket. I did buy an adjustable pushrod for the first one, but I might be able to go back with the original.

That's part of why I love this hobby. Learning as we go and figuring out "unique " ways to get things done. Sometimes I'm more creative than others. That's when the neighbors hear unnatural words flowing from the garage., lol.

Another vote for 15/16" Manual front K-H, rear drums. When I first swapped from a single pot on my 66 Barracuda, I put on a 1-1/16". The brakes never felt right. Several years later I put in a 15/16" totally happy with the brakes now.

How about bench bleeding on the car? Thats how I did mine about 6 years ago using one of the cheap parts store m/c bleed kits. Picture before I filled the reservoirs. Edit: I still bled the entire system since I changed from a single pot m/c to a dual.

I see your problem. You don't have the right pedals!!!! You need these :)

Here's how to measure.

Nice catch on the bracket! Glad you found it.

I updated my 66 master cylinder from a single pot to a dual. I ended up buying an adjustable pushrod from Dr. Diff. That, and adjusting the switch did the trick.

Agree @toolmanmike . Anything but an original master cylinder will cause the brake light switch to be out of adjustment.

Did you use an OEM replacement master cylinder?

You clearly need to step up the cursing. Either it wasn't loud enough in the beginning or it wasn't mean sounding enough. :mad:
