    1973 slant six sbp or bbp?

    I believe in 73, disc brake cars were LBP. Small bolt pattern still came on some/most/all/a few drum brake cars. But never say 'all' or 'always' on the first year of a change.

    Rear disc swap

    I believe 'early' stuff had a short and a long cable.. Later stuff (73 Dart in particular) had 2 relatively equal cables. I'm sure their cust service has dealt with this before. It would suck to have to convert it to the later style to make it work.

    Hydroboost unit dimensions ?

    I got it used from a diesel IH Scout. Contact Van at Vanco power brake systems (vancopbs.com i think). Super knowledgeable guy. He was real helpful to me, even tho i didn't buy anything from him.

    what brake flare tool should i buy

    If you're planning on stainless brake lines, get a good quality tool. I had a cheesy POS and couldn't flare one to save my life. Dropped a couple coins for a good one, flares went rather easy. Just practice a few flares and you're good to go.

    mY BRAKES SUC....

    I got a setup based off of a GM diesel, put a corvette MC on it, plumbed it.. really east stuff. I bought the stuff off a guys project he lost interest in, pennies on the dollar. All stainless lines too. I'll find out who the mfr of the stuff is. I called them when i installed it and guy...

    mY BRAKES SUC....

    Bruce is spot-on. I put the HydraBoost on my Scout with discs all around. Stops that fat pig on a dime. I did put an adjustable prop valve in the rear circuit..

    slotted and or drilled rotors

    I don't know squat, but my wife drives the hell out of a '03 hemi ram. Thing had 4 sets of rotors and or calpers/pads on it under warranty in its first 50k miles. Warranty ran out, i put cheap drilled and slotted rotors (chinese ****,i think) and new pads on it at 60k. No warpage, no noise...

    68' Cuda brakes......still!

    I ordered all my stuff from RockAuto. Moog parts, price including shipping was right. I had a '73 Swinger Donor, parts into a '69 Notch. Ordered all parts for the 73. everything went smooth. I went with the offset bushings. Seems like it was a good choice so far.

    'Grabby' brakes

    Disconnected the booster completely. Brakes are smooth all the way through (albiet with ample foot pressure!) I'm guessing pushrod adjustment next? I destroyed my vacuum hose in the process tho. Got to get some new hose tomorrow, i have some new 3/8 fuel line but i want to get some good...

    'Grabby' brakes

    Thanks for the thought. I changed everything, pedal, brackets, pushrod.. I even used the hard lines from the donor.. And the one to the rear brakes was a *****.

    'Grabby' brakes

    The 69 had manual 9" drums. The 73 had power front discs with rear drums on a 7.25 rear end (I didn't check what size the rears were)..
