Got a pair of 8-3/4 A body back plates from Dr. Diff - they fit perfect, the drums fit up nice and my yellow beast fish made it's first cruze nite appearance last week

Thanks guys. Glad that information is out on the forum now too. Big help.

Figured as much, I'm thinkin' the backing plates are not readily available at Autozone or advance...maybe NAPA. Anyone know what year or P/N I should ask for? maybe '73? Is there a previous thread I might have missed that could tell me?

same problem I'm having only just the opposite :(

I have a 1967 Barracuda with a 1969 (A Body) 8-3/4” (489 diff case) . I picked up some axles from Dr. Diff with 5X4.5 BP (nice!) Purchased some new (73’?) 10” drums with 5X4.5 BP holes, deep (2.5 depth), along with a brake hardware kit and 10”x2.5” shoes from...

That otter is me at the auto parts stores. LOL,

Thanks for the feedback BTW. I'm installing a 140-11022 front Wilwood kit on my 67 Barracuda that had 9 inch drums The 220-7699 are the 16 inch braided flex lines. Did you put them on a 69 dart? How did you know what size to use? Are they perfect length, a little tight or a little long? Did...

Yes, that's the bottom unit I am giving very serious consideration I noticed the mod too. The others mention shims, do I need them or can I reuse the old ones?

Those are the Eatons, yes they look tough. Might be too much $ for something I don't need. Will be running 3.23 ratio, no serious racing. Maybe a little light hopping is all. Giving these serious consideration. You'll probably recognize them.

clutch, spiders AND casing all torn up! My friend who owns a transmission shop took it apart & showed me, he advised me to get a new unit, as it's not worth fixing. Now I know why the car sat so long. This is killin' my budget Thanks for the offer of help. Trying to determine which type to get...

thanks all for your help. Well, got the bad news today, it was the sure-grip unit, the whole things shot, can't even rebuild it. Ring & pinion are ok. Crap! Now I gotta find a new one.

well it's not the axle bearings! Something must be up with the 489 section, apparently it's been out before, its leaking and there is no ratio tag or SG washer on it. Probably best to pull it anyway because I don't want some rediculous high ratio suckin gas. So I better see what's in there and...

Going to try this weekend. LOL, not like it's going anywhere anyway. Where can I get these "Green" bearings? The guys at the supply stores are clueless, they don't show up online at their sites. My local speed shop just closed their doors for good. I saw some in the classic Mopar catalog but are...

totally bewildered now. the rear wheel turns with a breaker bar (not easily) with the drum off (drum comes off easy). both wheels up engine running, in drive, the drivers side turning from the drive shaft, passenger side not moving at all... WTH?

Arrgh... this wasn't in the plan. I ordered the better ones from NAPA but not the Green ones. I think they'll be ok, (there's varied opinions about them even on this site), I doubt I'll still be around by the time it needs another set ;). Thanks again.

Thanks, I imagine I need to replace both sides. Are the bearings hard to extract or reinstall? Actually by "hub" I meant the rear (differential). BTW, should there be a tag on one of the housing bolt showing the ratio?

hi guys, thanks for your help and patience. Didn't mean to keep you in suspense but their were some family issues. Got both the wheels off the ground, in neutral, the passenger side is still locked, the drivers side turns both ways but stiff. When I turned the drivers side wheel didn't hear...

for those of you who could not access or bear to watch the crappy video, I captured some stills of the parking brake section of the video.

did not touch the adjuster prior to taking the drum off, will get both wheels up and check. Thinking about adding booster to master cylinder while it's off.

8-3/4 pt

video now public, I wasn't there when the car was rolled out backwards and the parking brake was engaged. It's supposed to be a PT rear and the other tire is on the ground the brakes pump up but after a while the pedal goes to the floor, filled the resivoir while pumping the brakes, but same...

my passenger rear wheel is locked up - could be the parking brake since there is much tension on that side of the V, took the rim off and the drum came off very easily. not sure what the problem is but to be honest I'm not sure what I'd be looking for. So attached is a video (apologize for the...

Man that sounds almost dumb enough to be a NJ law in the old days

Apparently my 67 barracuda sat for a long time about 10 years I have to guess, when we rolled it out of the garage, the pedal went to the floor and the brakes didn't work at all, (but that's another project entirely) and the former owner pulled the parking/emergency brake, which locked the...

Advance Auto Parts will loan you tools like this in many cases. Worth a check to see.
