    Can I just say @patrick66 that I hate working on brakes? Hope it works out for you.

    borgesson upgrade steering pump

    Obviously it's up to you, but I would stick with rebuilding your current pump or searching eBay or other Mopar sites for a replacement if something inside the pump is shot. It's not overly difficult with a new seal kit. The other component in play here will be your steering box since the two...

    Updates: disc brakes finally in with new wheels!

    Love the disc brakes bro, but aren't the lugs supposed to be on the outside of the tire?

    66 new yorker, disk to drum conversion.

    I agree with @Ross Wooldridge (also know around these parts as the Brakemaster) and I converted my fronts to disc and rebuilt the rear drums. Just spend some time on the googlizer or FCBO sifting through and you'll find plenty of drum-disc conversions. Summit may have some kits as well. I say...

    Brake booster

    When you have chance I would give them a call, they're great people to work with. I'm not sure what exactly they can do for you, but you'll have options. Hit him up.

    1964 Chrysler 300k brake upgrade

    I've heard Harmon Classic Brakes does good work too if you wanna shop around. As for the front brake disc conversion I went with Scarebird. I think I bought a set for a 64 dodge 440? At the time he wasn't sure if his kit would work on a 64 NY, so I took a chance and it worked. The biggest...

    1964 Chrysler 300k brake upgrade

    Drew, It will not naturally fit. I've tried a similar setup in the past, so trust me on this. I bought one similar to the one you're looking at and the arm on the back of the one you're thinking about is different than ours. Mine is a pushrod into the brakelight switch. The one you posted above...

    1964 Chrysler 300 letter steering box

    I hear ya, but honestly that's half the "fun" is what someone first told me when joining this site. The parts and options can be found, it just takes some give and take and lots of research. Typically the older the car, the harder the parts are to find. This hobby/love definitely costs time and...

    1964 Chrysler 300 letter steering box

    Honestly Drew, with that specific part, your best bet is to get it rebuilt by either Lares, Firm Feel, Steer and Gear, Red Head, etc. You'll have to ship it out obviously and it won't be cheap, but it may be your only option. As far as adding something newer to your existing frame, not too...

    1964 Chrysler 300 letter steering box

    Just to give you an idea, I used the original one on my 64 and have a back up from a 64 Imperial and they were the same. Definitely take a look at whichever one you're thinking about buying before hand and be sure the bolt holes line up with the frame rail. Here is what you should be looking...

    1964 Chrysler 300 letter steering box

    Hey Drew, I ran into similar issues with my 64 NY, can you attach a photo of which box you have? Mine is attached to the frame rail, but right around this time is when they went to attaching them to the crossmember, which the majority of C bodies have. If yours is the older version like mine...

    Tapered Axles

    It sounds as though Dr. Diff and Strange can both make the axles needed to upgrade from the tapered ones for a few hundred bucks. I just have to do a bunch of measuring. I didn't want to have to remove the entire housing, make sure the driveshaft yolk aligns properly, etc., if all I was...

    Tapered Axles

    Hey Guys, I am redoing the rear drums on my 64 New Yorker and am at a crossroads about what to do. Ideally, I'd like to get rid of these tapered axles so I can service them easier. I don't have a problem with the drums, but I DO have a problem with the Drum/Hub assembly as one unit. My stock...
