Has anyone ever seen a line lock like this? It was on my Dart when I bought it, but I never put it back on. I was told by the previous owner that it was form some heavy truck application. This was wired into the brake peddle with the lead comming out of it. He told me I think that it would...

Just take the drum off the front and measure it across the rear diameter, see what you get. You can't assume anything with a car thats been around for 42 years. It could have been changed perhaps.

Sounds right, I asume it will give better stoping power but how can a pad of equal size (constant) gain more area of contact from just increasing the size of the rotor? Are you saying that the caliper pad was not making full area contact on the smaller rotor, and now that the rotor is larger...

Good question, has anyone ever compared? It seems to reason that a larger rotor would give better stopping power, but if the caliper and brake pad are the same you really don't get any additional friction surface. All you get is more rotating mass. Looks cool but will it stop in less distance...
