Another thing to consider is you may not be able to use the stock smaller wheels with the larger disks anyway. Plus I believe the Disk set up make the fender make clearance an issue as it adds to your overall width.

Also remember that rear disks will add 1/2 to 1" to the width of your rear end and you will probably need longer studs.

Dr.Diff will modify his to be small pattern for a price, there are others, but most of them require 15 inch rims.

THis is what I have

I am afraid that riding the brakes is just causing the rear drums to fade enough that they do not lock up anymore. this cannot be good for them I think we just need to add or adjust the rear proportioning valve. something like this Classic Performance Brake Proportioning Valves PV-2 or...

Mine are doing the same thing, and the rear locks up way too early. I suspect that whoever upgraded my 64 dart to duel master with disks in the front, did something wrong. I am considering adding a proportioning valve for the rears. Right now I don't have to step on the brakes very hard before...

I hope I am not high-jacking this thread, but I pulled a drum off of the back of my 64 dart, 8 3/4 10" x ?, because it locks up when I step on the brakes, and noticed that there is a good 1/4 inch of more of unused drum on one side of the shoe. The shoe measures less than 2", so I am assuming...

Check the return holes in the bottom of your Master cylinder. I have had debree / rust plug up those holes and cause the same situation.

Yes but will a 14 inch Rallye clear it ?

The MBM/Pirate Jacks rears wont work with 14" Ralleys

On a related note, has anyone noted the scarcity of 14" tires. I want to go with rear disk and small pattern, but My choices are slim. I think Cass has the only solution that I know of.

Sorry about that, I will take my rear disk brake conversion problems offline.

No I already have 5 on 4 all the way around.

I am looking for a small pattern solution rear wheel solution that will allow me to keep my 14" Rallys. There does not seem to be a solution out there that does both, so I think the easiest solution is to drill a 5/4.5 for 5/4. What I have : 64 Dart 8 3/4 with green bearings. stock...

I sent Cass a question about 8 3/4 small pattern setup, But got no answer?

will this work with 14 inch rallys ?

Fluid on the drivers side rear ?

For all intensive purposes I have a brake system out of a 71-73 Dart, even though it is a 64. Small pattern rims, dual master, single piston caliper disks in front, 10" drums rear. everything replaced new about 500 miles ago. Except rear drums, and proportioning valve. Was working beautifully...

And what would you do for an emergency brake ?

Man those look nice, I wonder if there is a small bolt option and I wonder if they will fit in a 14" rim

why don't you go with a stock pre 72 setup

Any chance a 14" ralley will fit over that, I see in most kits they require a 15" wheel minimum?

I may have to give him a call thanks

Looks great, does it come in small pattern ?

I had a similar thing happen when a small amount of crud got into the return hole at the bottom of the master cylinder. Other than that the pistons could be in wrong ?

I didn't think they use 9" brakes on a v8 car. and especially not a 340 car. but maybe they did on the newer cars. It sounds like you have the wrong drums on your car, a new set shouldn't cost you more than $50. But make sure you have the tire clearance before taking off the spacers...

there are 9 x 2" and 9 x 2.5" drums http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,carcode,1232019,parttype,1744 Is this front or rear, do you have 10" or 9"

Sounds like someone couldn't find the correct drums for their car. or someone switched your car from SBP to LBP what size are your pads 2"

I tried removing one once I ended up with a bent hub. I believe that there is a special drill bit needed to remove the base of the studs in order to get the old drum off.

whatever you do get this fixed. If you don't think this is important try stopping hard on a wet road, but make sure there is nothing around when you do it, because you could loose control of your car and end up out of your lane or worse.
