I work part time at a auto parts store. Today a customer came in with a 1970 Chevelle and I jumped at the chance to help him. After he purchased some detailing products I walked out to see his car. Anyway we talked about drum brakes and he mentioned Porterfield brakes. He claims the material is...

Considering a disc brake conversion for my 1967 Coronet. This car has power drum factory brakes. I have a email into Dr Diff (Cass) asking about brake boosters as I have read you need 'dual bias' (whatever that means) Brake Boosters with the disc conversion. I'll see what Dr Diff says, but...

I've sent Scarebird a few emails asking about availability and sample instructions for the last two weeks, and no reply. Going to give them a call tomorrow during business hours. Going to convert the Coronet to front disc. Probably use Dr Diff, but might try Scarebird as it does seem like a...

So I just got my Vintage Air "sure fit" AC kit for my 67 Coronet and reading through the instructions. Seems it is only a 'sure fit' if you have a "modern Saginaw" power steering pump. Otherwise you can order a TRW bracket that clearly states it won't work with a Federal pump. Well, what if you...

Not sure what I screwed up when I pulled the column out of the Road Runner last month during the steering box rebuild. Something is not right as it does not go into Park properly after you shift it a few times. Symptom is won't start in Park after a few shifter cycles. I can go back and adjust...

Started to tackle the steering box removal on my road runner today. Unfortunately it's the little things that causes the biggest aggravation and delays. The roll pin was shattered before from someone who had tried to get it out, or when it was driven in it split. I knocked out a few pieces of...

I am considering a front disc conversion for my 1967 Coronet. In Line Tube has "straight" or "w/hump right front". I forgot is the 'hump' where the line goes under the frame rail? Anyone have a picture handy? Thanks and take care, Bill Products

Hello In need of the front wheel cylinder crush washer. Thought I'd ask the experts for size and perhaps source. Appreciate the help.

I replaced the front wheel cylinders on my 1967 Coronet last weekend. Used new Chinesium ones from O'Reillys and fresh brake rubber hoses. Seems my passenger side is leaking. I am concerned that pulling the rubber line at the already rounded off tube nut may not hold another removal. Really...

Going to replace my park brake cable this weekend. I have the Factory Service Manual and the instructions and illustrations are great back at the drum, but really vague about the cable connection to the mechanism. If anyone has pictures, or advice on how to connect the cable I would be...

Car is a 1968 Road Runner, stock rear 11 inch drums, WITHOUT self adjusters. Drove the car Friday night and noticed when braking from 45MPH I would hear a clunk from the right rear. It sounded like the old self adjusting when you back up and brake kind of clunk. As time went on with every clunk...

I want to pull my original power steering box and send it for a rebuild. Stock 'no feel' rebuild is just fine with me as Chrysler intended. I used Steer and Gear 25 years ago and was happy (on a car I no longer own), but recently I have heard that customer service is better at Firm Feel. So...

Hello All: I've been browsing replacement leaf springs for my 68 Road Runner, 383, 727, fairly stock. With the intention of not going with SuperStock, or competition replacement springs, I've noticed that the Heavy Duty replacements from Mancini, Summit, etc all describe 'factory stock for the...

Picked up a copy of mopar action magazine, February 2018 issue. Pretty good article on brakes and simple improvements. You may want to pick up a copy.

Hello: A fellow FBBO member would like to have the hubs from my front drums. I've done this before using a long soaking of penetrating oil and tap the studs with a punch. Any other tricks, or tips? Thanks, and have a nice day.

Motorheads at work keep saying I need one of these; any experts here have any experience? https://www.ecstuning.com/b-phoenix-systems-parts/v5-reverse-brake-and-clutch-bleeder/phx2104b~phx/

Hello All: Decided to connect all lines to the proportioning block and test fit the master cylinder. The line for the front brake portion fits like a glove. Spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out how the rear line can fit into the master cylinder. Then decided to compare to the original...

Hello all: Well, weekend one is complete for my Dr Diff front disc conversion. I'm a little over my head on this project, and may call in reinforcements soon. Not ready to give up, but the job is going very slowly. I can turn a wrench, but never performed any steering, or suspension work...

Hello: I have ordered my disc conversion from Dr Diff, and upon examining the front brake lines it looks as if I have one side rounded off at the rubber hose clip. Looking for recommendations on a replacement brake line source. Thanks, and have a nice day, Bill

Several of my motorhead friends (with Chevys) recommend SSBC for front disc conversions. I'm 90% convinced of going with Dr Diff, but like the idea of the easy installation of SSBC. The web site claims "Kit will bolt on to stock drum brake spindles with 10" drums and does not require a front...
