@cruiser, I am glad it was just a brake question. For a minute, I thought you were in jail and were complaining about your bail. :lol: :lol:

Let me add one more thing. you may not be bleeding your brakes properly. I have a friend who insists that the best method is for one person to pump, pump, pump on the brake pedal until the pedal feels firm, and then the guy opens the bleeder valve. That method has NEVER worked for me. It does...

LOL, I DID do that once.

OK, @J.B., I totally understand your frustration. I have been there. I can guarantee you that you can solve this after you take a dr\eep breath and chill a bit. I HAVE been there. I got really pissed off over something that was not as advertised/expected, took a chill pill (usually forced on me...

Let me make a suggestion. About 15 years ago, I installed a front disk brake kit in my 69 Barracuda. It came with an adjustable proportioning valve. It has a knob on the bottom that could be turned to vary front to rear pressure ratio. It works really well. As I remember, the brake lines fit...

I thought SSBC went out of business many years ago.

What @67Dart273 said. If it is 4 wheel disk brakes, the rear disks were added by a previous owner. Did he use the right master cylinder?

^^^^^

I agree with @Dana67Dart, we need more information. There are several things that could be going on. Do you still have the old master cylinder (MC)? If so, compare them to make sure you got exactly the right one. If the actuating rod does not match the new MC, you likely won't have brakes. Also...

WHY would you want to delete the parking brake??????? It serves a good puppose.

LMAO. Is there anything worse than that?

I have had the exact same thing happen to me. One envelope and one 75 cent stamp costing $10 or so. Some companies have converted their shipping departments into profit centers. I realize that you have to account for salaries and materials for your shipping department.

Many years ago, I installed a front disk brake conversion kit on my 69mBarracuda. It is one of the best mods I ever made. I am very pleased with the braking action in my car. I have often considered adding rear disk brakes, but I wonder how much of a difference it makes. Any comments from those...

Also sorry to disagree, but when I bought a disc conversion kit for my 69 Cuda from Stainless Steel Brakes several years ago, the kit included an adjustable proportioning valve that had to be installed. They recommended on the frame rail right behind the distribution block as seen in the top...

Congrats. I can tell you that we all really like it when a member asks for help, tries the suggestions given and has "SUCCESS". What I REALLY like is that you did an excellent job of keeping us advised of progress, AND you shared your success in a post with a picture. I can't tell you how many...

I agree with @33IMP, go for it.

Good eye. I did not see that until you pointed it out.

Studs are so cheap, I would just get new ones. The old ones are probably fine, but I would get new ones.

Same as an 83 Corvette. When you were at work, did you, or your guys, ever get a phone call for brakes on an 83 Corvette?

Still got that job?

Interesting. Thanks.

I thought SSBC was gone. That is what I heard. I have an SSBC conversion, and I really like it.

First of all, welcome to the Mopar addiction, I mean Hobby. Let me first ask what your plans are. As has already been said, there is nothing at all wrong with drums at all 4 corners for starters. If you plan to stay stock (or close to it), then all drums is fine. After all, most of the Mopars...

Don't you love the helpful guys we have on this site? Within 6 hours of posting the question, members provided the needed pictures.

25 years ago, I went to a parts store and bought regular steel brake lines for my 69 Barracuda. I don't remember the exact length I needed, but I bought several 4 or 5 foot sections, and an assortment of other lengths down to only a few inches. I also bought several unions. I carefully bent all...

LOL, LMAO. I think we have all done that. Wife: "How much is this restoration going to cost?" Husband: "Maybe 5-10 thousand." Wife: "That is a lot of money." Husband: "But it will be spread out over at least 3 or 4 years, honey." 5 years and $20K later the car is done. BUT IT IS NICE!

Since the Op did not mention the car, I have to ask. Have you looked into the cost of new rotors? I never have rotors turned anymore. I like the secure feeling of knowing I have new parts. To each their own.

I am going to say 90% master cylinder.

Hmm. That looks like it would work great. I assume it is copper. and we all know that copper washers work well with banjo bolt fittings. I think I'll get some just to have handy.

The kits I have done were all by Stainless Steel Brake Corp. They are no longer in business, but their stuff was high quality.
