I found this online today and it kept my attention for the duration so it must be worth watching.:D It shows the differences in OE all the way to budget pads.

Hi guys, I'm asking this question about my 66 Polara Slabbie before actually trying this for myself. I know that in the past for the 73 disc brake conversions to which I have done most of is this other than replacing the booster. I replaced every nut & bolt otherwise including upgrading to the...

here’s The scenario I gave upgraded my drums to a full 1973 brake disc/ drum on the 66 Polara last winter I have a decent pedal but it is lower than I like I can pump the pedal and the pedal comes to a higher height as compared to a single pushing of the brakes I adjusted the tears thinking...

now that I’ve completed the disc swap I’ve hit a slight bump in the road... The Córdoba rims won’t fit onto the rotors The problem is the inner diameter on the rim near the dress cap where it narrows by about .0025” I thought at first that the rotors I saved from the Newport was big and thick...

I had a few minutes of free time after work WHILE getting ready for a final bleed of the brakes on the Polara tomorrow & you know the old expression" Idle hands are the workshop of the Devil" Here's what my idle hands did :rolleyes: Letting the voting begin!

I finally am preparing the parts for upgrading the Polara for the 73 disc brake & rear 2 1/2” drum conversion Getting the pieces ready for installation I saved everything brake related from the 73 Newport from a few years back Starting the job next Monday with the help of another car guy...

I was playing with a trim ring I found today and gently placed it onto the front wheel to see what it would look like. I'm kind of digging it... First without and then with..

For those of you suffering with a loose steering sector to worm shaft issue, here is the FSM for the power steering box on my Polara. It looks like the same is used for all C bodies but you should confirm that first. What surprises me is that the instructions indicate that all fee play be...

I picked up a set of 1981 Doba rally rims the other day, They are 15" × 7" At first glance they looked decent shape but you know me not leaving well enough alone i bead blasted the back side of the rims to clean them up Then turned to the fronts and cleaned away. I polished as best as...

ok so last night I had a near miss and discovered that my rear brakes like to lock up in a panic mode. I have converted from a single manual pot M/C to a P/B dual pot drum brakes all around. - P/B pedal assembly bought from Murray Park 66 Polara and installed. I used a 1967 spec dual Drum brake...

I adjusted the front torsion bars last night to help level the car. The rear springs were shoving the front down too far for my liking. Here is what it was before and after the before shot is a bit harder to see since I didn't take a proper reference shot before making the adjustment. It is...

Hi guys, I tried to install the rear shock on the Polara tonight and ran into a snag. The shocks are about 1 1/2" too short after having had the rear springs repaired and re-arched.. I tried to bring the spring down with a large pry bar but this just made me sweat a lot! I got to within in 1...

I re-conditioned the axle bumpers from National Moparts the other day. I cleaned the Ziebarting off and these actually look pretty nice. Almost new for being 50 years old. I dipped the brackets then painted. The rubber is pretty flexible still as well.

I received a pair of very used and old axle bumpers yesterday and want to know if anyone has used these bumpers to replace their axle bumpers? If they have did you have to modify the mounts or did they bolt right in? Also I have a ragtop which I understand meant that the Dodge brothers used...

With me gutting and re-metalling with the under body on the Polara, it is time for me to take a break and do something else for a change of pace. I have pulled the diff apart to re-con it and have all parts in hand. Thanks to another member here I received an order from Dr. Diff with new spring...

Hi there you brake drum experts. I have repaleced all hardware with brnad new auto adjusters, hold downs on all 4 corners of the Polara. I noticed yesterday that the pedal is getting lower as time goes on and wonder if I still need to do manual adjustments to my drum brakes over time. I am...

Ok, I'm not talking about your Sony Play Station folks..:Groaner: Has anyone done the adjustment. My gear seems to have a bit of dead play in the center and I would like to tighten it up. Anyone done this and what has been the experience?

Hi there, I was told the other day that I had reversed my brake lines at the new dual M/C setup. I am using a 67 Dual M/C with drums all around. Currently I plumbed it so the frt res feeds the front brakes & the rear feeds the rear. I was told that I should have the front reservoir feeding...
