Hey gang.
I am in the process of some day doing a front break conversion on my 67 Coronet 500. I will be keeping the 14 inch wheels.

For those like me who have read everything ever posted on the internet? It is little confusing!

My hard parts will come from salvage yards. Consumables like rotors, bearings, pads. store bought.

I want to put together a "Recipe" for both salvage items and store items.

Here is where the fun and confusion comes. What parts do I buy?


This is what I have come up with so far.

1) Spindles salvage ---73-74 E BODY----73-76 A BODY.
2) 10.87 Inch dia rotor. 1973 - 1989 MOPAR: Oreillys #7032RGS $47.99. Raybestos #7032 $32.50

Calipers and brackets? Whats the best year, make and model to salvage these from? The calipers will be cores from salvage to reman units.

In the end. I want a "Recipe" of known parts and there sources.

I welcome all input from those who have gone down this road.

Thank you

Joe

Found this in the 68 Charger, trying to figure out what trans and ratio it originally came with, sort of hard since its weathered right where the answer would be any guesses?

I got a set of Hedman Headers and it came with gaskets, bolts... so I was in the garage today taking out the old manifold studs. I was using the technique of putting two nuts on the stud, then using a straight wrench on the inside nut and backing the studs out; spraying the stuck ones with some liquid wrench. As I was backing them out I noticed that their threads looked like they were really dull, kind of how a bolt looks when it starts to strip. Is this normal when taking these out? I wanted to put one of the Hedman bolts in to make sure they were the right size and whatnot and put it in a few threads and when I backed it back out the two or three threads that I did wrench in looked dull as well. Is this normal? Are these things meant to be put in once and left alone and taking them back out means you'll just get new ones to put in their place? Here are a couple pictures of a stud I took out and the new bolt I put in a few threads:

497 498

On another note... of course one snapped off the second I even tried to turn it and, upon closer inspection, there is at least one more snapped off. What is the best way to take care of this? The one that I snapped off is the first (front most) on the drivers side and the one that came snapped off is the last (rear most) on the driver's side. I'm pretty sure I can get a drill in there straight on to drill them out but do I just drill and retap the same hole or so I drill it out bigger and put some sort of sleeve in? Do I have to take the motor out to do this? (I sure hope not, I don't have a cherry picker and do not really want to buy one)

Anyway, any help is appreciated. Thanks!
