Some thoughts on torsion bar unloading: 1) Try to get the dirt and crud out of the exposed threads if you can. Put some penetrating oil on the bolts and let them soak for a while before even thinking about touching those bolts. 2) This sounds dumb but be sure that you are unloading the...

Been down that road. Save your money on using a universal one. Been there, done that. I sourced a 72 power brake booster for my 69 and had it rebuilt by the Power Brake Exhange. Worth every penny.

I hope this helps you out on your decision. I removed the (overpriced) aftermarket disc system that the previous owner installed. Here are the results: A Wrapup of Goodbye and Good Riddance Just patiently wait in the woods. A booster will flush out. If you already have one, I sent my donor...

Run far far far far away from Leeds.

My son and I got the tired (and dirty) 904 out of the 69 Fury. I have never built a trans., but I have built many engines. We are doing a Magnum 360 engine build too (but will look exactly like the original 318), so we're going to build the transmission up a little bit. looking forward to it...

We call the Fury BigSexy, and my son`s 1996 F 150 Atticus.

I live about 20 miles away from Detroit muscle technologies. I went to their place and check them out. They are awesome people. In fact, I was looking for splash shields for around the control arm for my 69 Fury. They didn't have any ready to go. But they told me to hang loose for a few...

And another one to say Merry Christmas from the Motor city!

"The Take" 1974 Billie Dee Williams Here is the car chase with a 1069 Fury....

Did you replace the flexible line? I've never seen one fail this way. I have only seen them fail where they will not release, but stranger things have been known to happen....

What MONC440 said. I rebuilt mine. Easy peasy, and good to go. However, if you are doing a drum-to-disc conversion and don't have the factory calipers from the donor vehicle, finding calipers will be difficult as you have discovered. If that is the case, I wish I could help you.

Thanks for the photo, BigMoparJeff. I remember now, as my Dodge Aspen work was last done in 1992. That illustration you posted shows those huge rubber isolators on the torsion bars that I now remember. Plus, if one looks closely at the original poster's photo, the traditional torsion bar can...

For kicks, I went to the NAPA website and pretended I was looking for an upper ball joint for a Dodge Aspen. The ball joint that came up is.......10162. Maybe that helps solve the mystery at least a little bit?

That control arm looks like the ones that were on my 1979 Aspen. IF I am correct, I would think that car would have the transverse torsion bars too.... Do you have any more photos?
