Glad you bumped this one I need to bend some lines myself. Early A though and was thinking about going from the master straight through the inner fender and then down. It's pretty tight with headers on the early A's down by the distribution block in fact I think they have to be relocated...

Napa doesn't carry **** for these cars anymore or any other retail supplier. Best bet is just to order from rockauto.com This kit should work front or rear WAGNER Part # H7129 {#F78541} Combi Kit One of our most popular parts Rear; 10 x 1-3/4" Brake $5.59 at rockauto.com

The lower ball joint may be different but the lower control arms are the same unless you have sway bar brackets. The 73+ upper control arms had the bigger ball joint that match the 73+ spindle. IMO the swap to the 73+ brakes and ball joints is good swap from a cost of parts perspective. You have...

73+ brake parts and upper lower ball joints are all considerably less expensive. Throw in the fact there is better wheel selection and that is why the swap is a popular one. Doubt there is much if any performace advantages.

Should be the same for all factory front spindles or alter k. The method I was taught a long time ago. 1. After packing the wheel bearings with grease or for wheel bearing adjustment. 2. Install hubs assemblies with bearings washer and spindle nut. 3. As you turn the hub assembly tighten down...

I would say that is a great price, especially if the lower ball joints are in decent condition.

I would buy them pretty quick, they won't last long. That looks like the light weight drag race set up. I would run them on the street over the 9" drum any day. The 73+ disc brakes would probably be better for heavy duty street use.

As long as the bleeders screws are on top your good.

rockauto.com I have ordered from rockauto. Out of the eight I bought one was bad out of the box and had to be returned. Chrome plating was chipping. I prefer the stainless pistons but they are harder to find.

The 73+ spindles have the bigger ball joint in the upper A arms. So they will need upper A arms, different ball joints, and the brake hardware as well. It 's a nice upgrade as the parts are easier to find and cost are less for ball joints, rotors, and calipers compared to the 72 and earlier...

Have you tried just opening the valve and let it gravity bleed for like five minutes. I would just do one at a time farthest away just like typical bleeding of system. I have had mixed results doing that. Some times it will work, other times not so much.

Those are some big old brakes. I'm sure they will stop your car and a 10,000 pound trailer. Only bad thing is they look heavy heavy heavy.:D

The ones I have taken apart the chrome on the pistons have been bad. That's one reason there so hard to get apart. I second just buying a rebuilt if you can find them. I like the stainless piston rebuilt caliper but they are pricey. I have a couple sets of cores laying around I'm going to try...

For 72 and earlier "A" bodies 10" drum brake spindle http://www.wilwood.com/BrakeKits/BrakeKitsProdFront.aspx?itemno=140-11023&year=1968&make=Plymouth&model=Valiant&option=10%22%20Inch%20Drum%20Brake%20Spindle For 72 and earlier "A'" bodies with a 9" brake spindle...

Willwood makes a 9" spindle kit here is a picture of mine. Mine doesn't have the small bolt pattern but I think the newer kits do. The 9" and 10" spindles kits are different part numbers http://www.jegs.com/i/Wilwood/950/140-2722-BD/10002/-1?parentProductId=744530#moreDetails

Should be the 9" drum brakes

There is a difference. The early disk brakes where a 4 piston caliper small bolt pattern on the wheels. The later 73 and later disk is a single piston caliper large bolt pattern on the wheels. The later 73+ is a popular upgrade as it gives the big bolt pattern for wheels. In addition the...

So I have been seeing the brackets off of F,M,J body cars to put 11.75" calipers and rotors on the 73 and later A body disk spindles. Would this be a good upgrade for say a autocross or road racing car? Besides the weight probably being a little heavier than an aftermarket performance kit. Does...

I don't think so the spindles are different.

Should be 11" Rotor they should only have one size maybe they were looking at drums too.

Doesn't seem like a bad price. With time on your side you may possible be able to do better. Things like spindle nuts, brake caliper bolts and brackets are often hard to find. So you really need to make sure everything is there. For that reason I like the ideal of pulling the parts off the...

http://www.jegs.com/i/Wilwood/950/140-2722-BD/10002/-1?parentProductId=744530 This kit would be my choice and I think it has both the large and small mopar bolt pattern.

Your drums should be the 9" Any of the three listed companys will be fine just compare price and warranty.

Nope!

The hardest part I have found is getting the pistons out. there is some tricks online. The best seems to use the hydralic brake system to pop them out. You can remove pads and reinstalling caliper on rotor or using a block of wood in between pistons where caliper normally is. Sorry I don't...

Pretty sure you need backing plates to match the drums keep that in mind when changing. Regarding the drums FYI on the A body cars I think the fronts are 10" X 2" and the rears are 10" X 1.75" The A body drum is most likely out of a 1970-72 car as they had the belled drum like that...

Thats nice to know. I ended up just ordering a original 73 style master because I didn't want to spend a extra $100.00 on adapter and adjustable rod. I really like the looks of the newer style like you have much better.

No I just called the local napa and autozone warehouse stores and asked for a 73 disc/drum master cylinder. Might have to order online from rockauto. Never pulled out the residual valve, but now that you mentioned it aren't they just inside where the brake line plumbs in to the master. Might...

Just about finished mounted calipers in rear and had some brake lines made up. Now I need a 73 disc/drum master cylinder and no one has one in stock. Thinking about one off a 1983 Diplomat everything looks the same bore and port size. Just need an adapter to mount on firewall. My concern is...

Looks great!
