    Dot 5 Temperature

    Its not the best situation. I believe the boiling point is 500* but not positive. I have a very similar situation on my Dart. I bought the heat sleeves from summit and wrapped them brake hoses in them. I havent had my car on the road yet so I cant say for sure if this will be a problem or not...

    Emergency cable help

    Working on my 66 Dart. I've added frame rail connectors and will be running a 3" exhaust system. I had to cut the original cable mounts off and was hoping to see what modifications others may have done so that you still have use of your e-brake. Also any pics of where you may have run your steel...

    Dot 5 Silicone fluid opinions

    Many years ago I did a complete rebuild of the brake system on my 74 corvette. I went with the Dot 5 silicone fluid because of the calipers on the vettes always end up leaking. Ive had no issues with it but have read where many don think it produces as good/solid a brake pedal. I was wondering...

    Drum to Disc on Early A Body Problem

    No there is no washer on the lower ball joint. I updated this all in the members restoration on Sunday but I should have come back to this post and updated here as well.

    Drum to Disc on Early A Body Problem

    If the turning radius is only 1 3/4 then I will be good with just grinding a small amount of clearance. In the last photo you see that the lower ball joint assembly is within a 1/8" from touching the stop on the lower control arm. Glad to hear someone else has run into this. I hate when no one...

    Drum to Disc on Early A Body Problem

    Oh, one more thing. From center of turn radius I have 2 full turns either direction before it touches here. Can someone else verify how far their steering wheel will turn each direction from center on an early A Body. I have all stock steering gear. Thanks again, Rod

    Working on a 66 Dart that had a 273 originally. It had the standard front drum brakes and I am changing it to disc brakes. I purchased a set up from another member on this site.

    Proportioning valve help needed

    Working on my 66 dart and I am changing the brake system to use an 11 3/4 disc brake setup (cordoba set up) along with drum brakes (10") on the rear. When I bought the front brake system/parts I was given this proportioning valve to use in the change over. Was wondering if anyone could help...
