    Probably already has plenty in the quiver, give yourself a break. LOL

    71 dart disc brake swap

    decent article but the spindle caveat is total BS. FMJ's work fine and in some ranges are superior to the "factory engineered" A body spindles.

    Final Answer - Track width difference when converting front to disks

    Yes, the BBP wheels had more backspace Maybe stick with approximately 5/8" to make it easy! :) Nice on the measurement.

    Will a Dodge Aspen front disc set up fit a 67 Dart for conversion?

    They should. Unless your car got some older upper 65-72 upper control arms on in.

    Big Cam No Vacuum

    The total timing monster strikes again. Bushing color in distributor? If you need a bushing that provides more initial timing than what MSD has, I sell them in a 10* and 14* sizes. $10 each + shipping

    70 duster front disc conversion

    No
  11. C

    A good reason to run braided lines on rear disk. Ouch!

    Could a longer hose help solve the hose interference issue? Route it more front to rear coming out of the caliper and larger loop it to the frame bracket? Next time don't shorten the rear end so much you big dummy!!! :) Nice catch, that could have ended UGLY

    73 Duster front drum to disk conversion

    Grab a 7/8" wrench, check the upper ball joint nut if it's that size. If it is, you have big ball joint uppers. If it's in the 11/16" range, SBJ.

    Disc break conversion kits?

    Yes, except the FMJ spindle warning. Find 73+ A body BBJ upper A Arms and a set of discs from a 73-76 A or an FMJ body car. They all work well if you are swapping to big bolt pattern wheels. Small bolt pattern, factory Kelsey-hayes or scarebird work.

    What are SBP parts worth?

    Axles - 75, 100 if you are lucky. I've given them away to locals instead of packing and shipping. Shipping a pair of axles isn't cheap anymore.

    Aspen brakes on a Swinger

    Looks a lot like this swapping spindles... You need the large ball joint upper control arms or Dr Diff sleeves and 73-76 A body lower ball joints. Simple swap. You won't swap the entire suspension without some serious modification

    Aspen brakes on a 65 Dart?

    They work, spindle is a bit taller. Need BBJ upper control arms off a 73-76 car.

    disc brakes

    Factory style Kelsey Hayes or screbird conversion are two choices. B body stuff won't work, it's 4.5 BC.

    73+ Disc Bearing Seals

    Drum brake seal? I bet you have a timken 6815 or equivalent instead of the 5121. The 6815 is smaller OD. There are two seals, one for drum, another for Disc. Which part number do you have?

    Revhendo's - brake line tip = AWESOME

    I have a $5 bet with my friends Daughter that the car will be running by years end. I can't lose a bet to her! :) I hope to have the engine/trans mated and installed from the bottom this week. Get front suspension bolted up and the car on the ground rolling.

    Revhendo's - brake line tip = AWESOME

    The three + year project continues... LOL Got some trans lines done and mounted a electrcal bus location. Drilled the snot out of the front bumper brackets. Made a ratchet gate plate for the stock A body console shifter. Got a bunch of stuff for finishing the trunk...

    Spindle Help

    Looks like set 17 bearing which is same as A body BBJ stuff. Maybe measure outer bearing surface and cross ref stuff at rock auto. :) If it's .75" see next line. Guessing set 17 and set 2 bearings Parts book 1973 - A body spindle with drum brakes 3402739

    FMJ spindles > POLL

    This is why you should be ignored about the subject! In the face of pertinent testing data that is contrary to the insinuation, yes it's an insinuation, take your ball and go home. :) Have FMJ's on many A bodies, no issues.

    FMJ spindles > POLL

    3 degrees... that's the change in ball joint inclination throughout the range. The guy that did alignment work for me laughed at the binding ball joint assertion. If the ball joint was that close to the physical limits, someone messed up badly when they were designed. The upper/ball joint is...

    FMJ spindles > POLL

    You won't EVER get an answer to that until you speak with the engineer that decided it may be an issue. It could have been as simple as, these aren't the same height, 3/8" difference, they won't work. 10 years later we were putting them on the cars without issue. The binding issue has been...

    9" drum to disc conversion confusion

    http://www.bigblockdart.com/techpages/spindles.shtml All that stuff in the original mopar action article is pretty much debunked with actual testing results and data. I run nothing but FMJ spindles on my A body cars.

    FMJ spindles > POLL

    What's to settle? There are many that have FMJ's on their A body cars with no issues. I run only FMJ stuff anymore unless A body stuff falls in my lap. I'll take real live testing data over what someone wrote, with no supporting data, in the 90's as my reference...

    Need help with bearing install

    What car did you buy bearing for? If you bought bearing for a 68-72 car, that's not going to work.

    Need help with bearing install

    Can you pull that bearing out of the rotor in your bottom pic? Race and bearing installed backwards? Race goes in with the wider inner opening towards you. When you put it together, last thing you install on backside is the seal. Basic assembly is same for the front hubs on any of the A's
