I would think that there was an issue some years back and the wrong parts were used and then an effort was made to correct the mistake. 3 inch shoes, like 2 3/4 require the hydraulic piston to push on the center web of the shoe to ensure the pressure is equal on both the outside and inside edge...

Take it back and let them deal with it. You paid to have it done right so it's their responsibility to do just so. Can't be going around behind every place that works on your car to make sure things are done "above board".

I had a kit from SSBC on my 65 Fury but it was 4 piston. Mine were Corvette calipers and pad replacement was done by giving the counterman the year of Corvette. Unfortunately the SSBC wasn't up to the job of stopping my car well and when I upped the horsepower they were even worse. Not too sure...

The listing you are showing does not appear to be a rear sway bar, or, at least it doesn't look like the one I put on my C-Body. I didn't buy PST because I found them to be super expensive. You know, a car with leaf springs doesn't really require a sway bar but if you must I went with a Hellwig...

This sounds like a classic symptom of uneven pressure in the high pressure feed line. Usual cause is the pressure relief valve at the pump. The pressure is held steady by a poppet backed by a spring which creates opposing force to maintain pressure. If the spring loses some of its tension or the...

If you had bought a conversion kit from SSBC there would be a spacer in the kit that slides on the spindle before mounting the router. This moves the rotor out slightly and creates the effect of the spindle being a slight bit shorter when you tighten the spindle nut. You need to have a spacer on...

Came across a similar issue on a 65 Imperial with drum brakes after redoing the front drum system completely. Strange thing was the car pulled mostly to the right but sometimes left and after endless attemps at adjusting the front shoes I thought it was time for an alignment. On closer...

This is a rather rare situation unless you are over filling the unit. Fluid generally goes down as the pads and shoes wear and the rubber bellows on the underside of the cap is pulled down due to an internal vacuum in the bowls. A poorly functioning ball check in the bottom of the master will...

That's a fairly large and heavy car to maneuver with manual steering. If you do go that route, find a 22" steering wheel before you buy the box regardless of brand.

Well, if you're going to change the rear springs, I hope you got a damn good torque wrench to do the axle U-bolts tight. This is not a place for guessing on tightness, it has to be to spec. While your at it, get some heavy jacks stands or you may pull the car over on yourself when doing up those...

If you have "brake drop" it may well be that you have a damaged pressure cup in the master, usually for the rears. If you don't have enough clearance between the booster and master your brakes will bind naturally, if too much clearance you will get what appears to be "pedal drop". Vacuum should...

I did this very conversion on the same car as yours earlier this summer but the cruise was aftermarket and quite a bit smaller. I sourced the master ($78 at Rock Auto) and found that a'68 or earlier was perfect. Make sure as you browse through their listings that you select drum/drum and don't...

I am not sure how you're plumbing this dual master in, but you do not need a metering block. After removing the front circuit line from the existing distribution tee, buy a brake plug (3/16 gotten anywhere) and insert it where the front brake line was removed. Make sure the line to this tee goes...

I don't think you should be buying that one until you have some more info on it, like bore size. Very critical. Even SSBC's web site doesn't have the information. Strange isn't it? Mopar Master Cylinder with Billet Aluminum Cover - A2931

I have owned many a car and one truck that had alignments done so well, you could literally let go of the wheel and the vehicles tracked straight down the road for a long distance - regardless of slop in the box. The one I had done on my Fury was performed by an older mechanic from the era of...

I installed the Raybestos MC from RockAuto on a 65 Imperial conversion and it worked great. I did install a manual proportioning valve for the rear brakes plus one residual valve and balanced the system for optimal braking. Due to the new higher pressure going to the disks all front brake lines...

It appears as if it were for a "weight transfer" trailer hitch. I think the holes are too far in for a sway bar but just perfect for a hitch. Keep them, who knows what future purpose they will serve.

You may want to take a look at the advance curve for your distributor. Had a similar problem and changed the max lockout points for my mechanical advance. I did not have to change the springs. You may have to if their too light. Thing runs like a beast with 16 degrees base timing and 16 degrees...
