    Cordoba caliper position swap?

    Dont forget, whatever you do, the bleeder screw needs to be at the top otherwise you will never get the air out of the system. I say this, because some people forget that part.

    Cordoba caliper position swap?

    They are the right length and will bolt up, but i have not gotten that far as far as making them clip into the frame. I will go check and see what can be done to remedy this later this evening.

    Made from closed cell foam sheet think "packing material sheet'. Not necessary. I use a small bead of silicone. If you really really need them, contact Jim Fillmore at Detroit Muscle Technologies, or find some 1/8" thick closed cell foam sheet and trim out your own. Jim is an A body vendor...

    sketch and Mopar Momzee 15x7 fifth avenue M body steelies will fit the big bolt pattern, and the dog dishes from the 13" wheels will snap right on. Going this route with my 67 barracuda notch. Same caps, but with BBP 15×7 M body steelies. I picked em from my boneyard for $8 each. Such a nice...

    explorer parking brake is rubbish on my valiant

    Yes the lever inside does freeze up with water laying in there. They should pivot easily. I will use some light lithium grease on the pivot points. Mine were rusted stuck, and I live in dry assed west Texas

    Where do i post this question?

    I have never seen an 8.25 with SBP axles. I was under the impression the 8.25 started in 1973 and was BBP. BTW, the jeep cherokee disc setup looks a lit like the ford explorer setup. A company called www.bruinbrakecables.com can custom make you brake cables with whatever ends on them that you...

    1969 valiant with 13 inch wheels

    Small bolt pattern steel rims do not normally come in 15" if you want 15" rims in small bolt pattern, they need to be specially made. If your running factory dog dish type center caps, they will readily snap in place on any mopar 13,14,15 inch steelie rim. If running a full wheel cover, a 13"...

    1969 valiant with 13 inch wheels

    Pulls to the right when he steps hard on them can be a few things. Either the left front brake shoes are not adjusted out enough so the front shoes on both sides dont grab at the same time. The left front wheel cylinder could be sticking and not moving. It may be something as simple as that...

    1969 valiant with 13 inch wheels

    You can get everything in 1 kit ready to bolt on, or just the brackets and source everything else yourself. One kit for 9" drums, one kit for 10" drums. I have no experience with these kits, so I have no idea why there 2 different kits based on drum diameter However, for a nice upgrade on a...

    1969 valiant with 13 inch wheels

    Scarebird front disc conversion then and then find and put small bolt pattern 14" rims on front and back. I think it uses toyota previa van rotors that you get redrilled to the mopar pattern with a supplied pattern , and chevy celebrity calipers and pads. Both pretty cheap at rock auto.This kit...

    1969 valiant with 13 inch wheels

    What you have is a 5 bolt 4.0" diameter bolt circle with 7/16" threaded lug studs. Typically the left hand side (drivers side) of the car had left hand threaded lug nuts (reverse thread) if it still has those and your planning on keeping this (small diameter) bolt pattern, I recommend you...

    Brake swap time

    Is it a black car, or just a black engine compartment? Repaint that engine compartment to body color. The K frame, I'd degrease it, clean it and fog it with primer and chassis black after seam welding it. but that's just me.

    Big piston calipers ?

    Also 78-79 B and C. Thse castings have the hose attach point in the same spot as the 2.60" calipers. Yes FMJ were also big bore 2.75" and use the same piston and seal kits as the B&C however the castings are different and the fitting attach points for the brake hoses are not in the same...

    Master Cylinder Bore?

    I agree. If your going with 2.75" calipers wouldent a 1&1/32" master give you the same feel as a car that had 2.60" calipers and a 15/16" master cylinder. All things being equal?

    Please help identify these calipers!

    What's your piston diameter? 2.75" I believe is what the B,E,C, FMJ cars used. Should be the same piston as any M body. If the pistons are 2.60" then it's a 73-76 A body caliper.

    No rear brakes after 4 wheel disc swap?

    Maybe the combination valve some call it a proportioning valve. I am headed this way with an 8.8 disc brake rear and cordoba big brakes on the front. I am planning on using a GM style 4 wheel disc brake proportioning valve. Not sure if this is the route to go, as I have not gotten that far yet.
