Craig@mobilparts should have the adjuster. Dave

As noted, no, the '68 Mopar disc brake systems were Budd manufactured. The '73 brake systems were Kelsey-Hayes, These systems do not interchange. Spindles and Ball Joints are different. C-Body used a 4.5" bolt pattern, the Imperial used a 5.5" bolt pattern and the brake parts are unique to...

Take the ball joint back out and coat the threads with some good penetrating oil, that will help dissolve any rust. Then try it again. If you have the old ball joint handy, note how many clean threads are on it, this will give you an estimate as to how far it should screw in. Dave

You should really be using a spring type clamp on the return hose. The fuel line clamps you are currently using do not flex with changes in pressure and will eventually cause the hose to be cut and fail. Dave

You will not gain much going to tubular upper control arms and they are probably over kill for your application. The greaseable LCA conversion is a lot sturdier than the factory units but the car will lose any cushion effect from the stock rubber bushings and will probably ride like a truck...

Those are probably heat marks from sustained hard braking, as long as there are no cracks they usually do not hurt anything. If you turn the drum and find any cracks, best to replace the drum. Dave

Some of the factory shoes had a groove in the center that served as a wear indicator, when the groove was worn down, the shoes needed to be replaced. There would be a dark line about 1/4" wide at the center of the drum until the shoe was worn out. Looks like a normal normal wear pattern to me...

www.powerbrakebooster.com aka 'Booster Dewey" now Booster Steve probably the best out there. Dave

Try www.rockauto.com they have a lot of older mopar brake parts. Dave

There is somethint wrong with the way the hub is sitting on the spindle. Looking at the photo #3, are you sure that this is the correct hub? Looks like the bearing is misaligned due to excessive wear or improper components. Drum will normally be sweged to the hub as well. Dave

If this is a power brake car, odds are the booster is failing. Does it hiss when the pedal is depressed? Were the wheel cylinders serviced at the time the shoes were replaced? A sticking wheel cylinder will cause the brakes on the affected wheel to drag and overheat. A leaking wheel cylinder...

It is called a travel rod, and yes it is adjustable. Remove the master cylinder, there is an acorn nut on the end of the rod that can be turned in or out to adjust the length of the rod. You should have about 5/8" of free play in the pedal so adjust the rod until you get there. Dave

You will also need to disconnect the front shocks and unhook the lower ball joint, this will allow the LCA to drop a little more and further remove tension. Dave

If you are still running the OEM style single pot master cylinder, take it off and check the discharge port for cracks. These sometimes cracked and would ingest air into the system, especially if the master is the dual port type. On a '66 the second port is blocked off by a plug and they would...

You have a leak someplace as noted. The chi-com wheel cylinders sometimes have poorly machined bleeder screws that do not seat properly. Same is also true for the line connectors. If the system is sucking air when the pedal is released, you should be also able to make it leak fluid. Have a...

The lower shock bolt is never keyed. A lot of the time the nut threads can be stuck to the bolt. Hit the nut with some "break free" or a similar penetrating oil. Those bolts are usually good metal so it is not likely that it would twist off. You will probably need to attach a box wrench to...

Unless you are worried about squeaks, there is no reason to install the after market shafts with grease fittings and nylon/poly bushings. Replace the stock bushings and clean up the pivot shafts and call it good. A lot of the after market nylon/poly bushings are much harder than the stock...

If you have a 6cyl or 318, some of those used this booster as well with discs. Dave

Booster Dewey should be able to fix it. Looks to be a Bendix single diaphragm unit about '70-'74. Used with 4 wheel drum brakes on many applications. Also used as a replacement unit for Midland-Ross units. Looks to have been rebuilt at least once before because there is peeled paint that has...

Have you tried Craig at mobile parts, he is a vendor on this site. Dave
