Hi All,
I have recently pulled the booster, master cylinder, caliper assemblies, spindles, and upper control arms, from a 73 Valiant. These are going in to my 68 Dart, which is currently running 9" drums all around.
Someone had already taken the distribution block from the 73.
Three questions:
1} I'm considering keeping the manual brakes on the '68, rather than go to power. Can I use my existing master cylinder, adding an adjustable proportioning valve to the back line?
2} Everything was heavily rusted on the Valiant, it had been parked in a field for years. I'm replacing the calipers, hoses, etc. Any bets on the condition of the brake booster, should I decide to go the power brake route? Will I likely have to replace it?
3} There was not a dust shield plate on the 73. There was some kind of small, triangular shaped pad that fits over the spindle, held on to the spindle by 3 bolts, but it has mostly rusted/deteriorated away. I don't have the FSM for the 73. What is this part called, so I can order one (and who stocks it)?
Thanks!
-Mac
