    1963 Chrysler 300 disc brake conversion

    Nope, no remote brake booster. And no body tag. So it looks like a Frankenstein with no verifiable originality. Is it 100% for sure that a non-letter '63 300 would have come with a body tag from the factory? And where exactly would it be? I found one site that insists it's on the door post and...

    1963 Chrysler 300 disc brake conversion

    I'm getting the picture of the body tag this week. I'm more familiar with fender tags on later Mopars so I'm not sure what I'll be looking at, but I'll do my best to decode it and try to figure out what is original on this car and what isn't. No build sheet unfortunately. The car is meticulously...

    1963 Chrysler 300 disc brake conversion

    Wow. I was just browsing the 1963 Chrysler service manual someone had uploaded to a site and came upon a section describing the "C300J remote power brake" that is basically what you described.

    I also read a thread where somebody suggests the brake pedal needs to change also if you go from manual to power. :( However there are some people who are fans of manual disc brakes. It seems like that would be a simpler conversion. Any thoughts there? Seems like that could be a simpler first...

    Leeds has a kit that claims support for '63 Dodge Polara. Any chance some or all of those components would work here? Mopar B & E Body Front Disc Brake Conversion Kit, Original 4 Piston

    1963 Chrysler 300 disc brake conversion

    Thinking of buying a 1963 Chrysler 300 convertible, but it has manual drum brakes. My first task would be to convert to power disk brakes in the front, so I want to plan that out. Since nobody makes kits for these (at least that fit OEM wheels) it seems I need to do the hard work of planning out...
