Thanks Craig - I will holler at you shortly (translated - within the next week)

Thank you for the recommendation - I have heard him mentioned in different threads a time or two.

I did get that from the previous brake shoe size thread: There needs to be some space on the outer edges of the drum surface. Thanks for posting up your advice. :-D

Compare to some folks on the board I am just a youngin' so I do not recall the worries caused by these drum brakes BUT I have heard plenty of horror stories from my elder generation who did grow up in the 60's. So I can relate to your statement: 'Do you want to really stop or just pray and...

Well Good morning C Body fans! OK, so I did it again...I bought this '66 Fury VIP in Manassas a few months back: NOT MINE - 1966 Plymouth Fury VIP 63,000 original miles $3,500 Turns out it's a GEM! It needed new wheel cylinders in the front passenger so I went ahead and replaced that. While...

Nice looking ride you got there...

Hey there, Hi there, Ho there.... I was attempting to interject some humor in to the thread with my last posting. Apologies if it was taken differently than intended. I am just REALLY EXCITED about getting this care ready for the road and I am pretty close to being there! Should be test...

Alright! After fixing the brake pedal (the push rod needed to be shortened about a half inch sp O just grabbed a different stick from the tree out back), we determined this was not the issue. BUT it still needed to be done so we went and did done it. We push the compressed air from the loud...

I had to go back and wtch but I see what you mean about the compression fittings. Not sure why anyone would do that so close to the MC (#1), and use compression fittings at all (#2).

Alright, thank you for the really helpful insight. :-) We also discovered that the FRONT brakes are supplied from the rear reservoir and the REAR brakes from the front reservoir when we blew that air from the back to the front. I have a list of things now: 1) Blowout the lines from the front...

Thanks for the tips! We blew air back from the brake line on the passenger rear (where it hooks up to the wheel cylinder) and it blew all of the brake fluid out of the front reservoir and blew the lid off of the Master Cylinder; made a huge mess! It was kind of funny, kind of a Laurel and...

Little bit of background: '68 Newport 2 door slicktop with a 383 & an Edelbrock 750 - 4BBL (aftermarket). Runs great after a major tune up. We replaced the springs & Wheel cylinders on all 4 wheels (shoes were in good shape). Installed new lines on the back. Kept the original brake line...

I called Leeds - ordered everything over the phone. although...had I done some more research I probably would have gone with Craig (MobileParts)

Twostick - Gives a new meaning to Power Assist? LoL

Hey hey hey! Wheel cylinders and booster were both shot. I went all of the way around and replaced just about EVERYTHING. New wheel cylinders (Dorman), the shoes (oddly enough) were in good shape, new brake hardware kit for each axle (also Dorman), new flex hoses (NAPA)(in the front). The...

Welcome to the site! Hey hey hey! Doing the same thing to my 68 Newport. Wheel cylinders and booster were both shot. I went all of the way around and replaced just about EVERYTHING. New wheel cylinders (Dorman), the shoes (oddly enough) were in good shape, new brake hardware kit for each...

Thanks for the tip Big John! :-) I already ordered the stuff from Leeds - we will see how it goes.

Thanks for the tips! I certainly am not letting go of any of the parts I am pulling off of the car. Right now my goal is to get it road worthy. I will PROBABLY send the original booster to Dewey to rebuild it. In the meantime I spoke with Leeds brakes. They are sending out a set up that...

Thanks for the tip!
