I am currently trying to fit wheels for my 72 dart Swinger and I dont seem to be able to fit the same size rims and BS as other folks. i am wondering if this can be due to the type of drums I have. can someone educate me on the different sizes they made? I have a 8 inch rim with 4.5 back spacing with a meager 225/70 x 15 and I am slammed to the wheel lip. I am thinking that maybe I have lost some space due to the drum size. thanks

Hi I have a71 swinger 318 with 10 manual drums the master cylinder in the car looks like a disc drum combo with two different size reservoirs. I ordered a new one from Rock auto for drum drum 10" and it came big small reservoirs as well ?? what gives The 1970 listing for 10 drum was drum is adifferent number but picture shows both the same size

Hey folks!

I recently picked up a pair of Kelsey Hayes 4 piston disc brakes for my 72 Dart that I bought to replace my front 10" drum brakes. They are rusty and dusty and I plan on completely restoring them before they go on my Dart. Here's what replacement parts I have bought thus far:

•Rotors (2)
•Lower Ball Joints (2)
•Wheel Studs (10)
•Dust Caps (2)
•Re-manufactured Calipers (2)

Looking at the assembly, I have also noticed that there are a couple steel brake lines that wrap around the caliper, but have been not been able to locate them on the Fine Lines website. Does anyone know what they are called/what their part number is? Also, is there anything else I would need to completely get these brakes looking and working their very best before I install them on my car?

Thanks,

Hey folks, I am replacing my rubber brake lines on the rear end of my 63 dart as I move to another rear end with 10" drums and BBP from a 73 dart.

I have found that the rubber hose I purchased has a screw fitting into the brake block that sits atop the rear end to distribute out to the rear drums, but that the original fitting on the rear end looks to be part of the original block.

Can anyone verify if the rubber hose on the block can be removed and replaced?

IF this is too confusing I will post pictures to help clear up any confusion.

As always,
Cheers and thanks!

Help!! I am in need of a prop valve for my 73 dart. Does anybody know where i can find one? Or are they rebuildable? Been looking evrywhere i can think of and cannot find one.

EBC brakes, apparently makes pads for the 1979 Cordoba (part # DP3678C Red stuff pads switch Summit sell for 103.55 http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EBC-DP3678C/ and amazon sells for 98.10 ) which we all know that the Cordoba uses the same caliper as the 76 Dusters.
So, anybody ever use EBC brake pad before?
