Re: Front Drum to Disk& Booster conversion 68 Charger

Hi Pete Thanks, I am not looking for brakes comparable to my daily, just an improvement on what I have, which require the leg strength of Arnold Schwarzenegger to bring her to a stop. I have had the drums off and all is good and correctly adjusted so not much more I can do with the old set up. Class...

Re: Front Drum to Disk& Booster conversion 68 Charger

Hi

Are we saying with the Willwood set up I will not need a brake servo ? I have Magnum 500 wheels, what is the largest Rotors I can have, or should I say what is the most economical price wise for my use.

Thanks

Re: What did you do to your Mopar today?

Hi Blue

I hear what you say, done correctly maybe, but not like this.Final picture looks better. Seems a very poor original design,no way to seal the retainer cap bottom surface to the block other than with RTV. I wonder how they did it in 68 ?

Re: What did you do to your Mopar today?

Fitted the Mancini rear crank oil seal on my 440 with motor still in the car. Crank seal bean leaking since I bought the car. The seal had been replaced in the last few years so the rope seal had long gone. The seal was good with no visible wear,but no side seals ! side seal grooves had been gummed ...

Re: Kick down setting 68 Charger
