In this video, we're finally at the point of complete mockup in the engine bay so it's time to pull everything back out and get it all cleaned up for paint.
What brake setup are you running? I.e. Master cylinder, Prop Valve, 4 wheel disk or rear drums? I noticed you have the 2 bolt style master rather than the original 4. Is that an adapter? I am trying to get a 1970 Charger back on the road but don't want to shell out the big bucks for a off the shelf conversion kit. I am brand new to Mopar and have found myself lost in the rabbit hole of customizing and retrofitting. I Love the wagon, and get excited every time a new video is out. You have helped me a ton already. Cant wait to see it on the road! Thanks
Thanks for the support! Brakes are an area where you can definitely overspend and end up with something that doesn't work very well. The setup I'm running is the well-known "stock mopar big brakes" setup. It uses 70-73 A-body spindles and 78-up R-body rotors and calipers. Rotor size is right around 12". I'm running disc front, drum rear, bypassing the stock proportioning valve and using an adjustable Summit valve to fine tune the rear pressure. I got my master cylinder and the 4->2 hole adapter from Dr Diff. The MC is an aluminum dual reservoir unit from some 80's Mopar truck, I think the D100. Just get it from there so you know it's the right one. I'm a little nervous about the manual brake setup for a car this large with a lot of power, but traditional power brakes don't play well with boost pressure and I'm not willing to invest in a more modern hydro-boost setup at this time, so we'll see how it works on the road and go from there.
Thanks a million! My car will be a great example of a budget build haha. Purchasing the car nearly wiped out my savings account, so with your help on the brakes hopefully I can stay under budget. I really appreciate your help.
