This is a 9 X 1 3/4 brake s/u I took off my 68 Val when upgrading. Nearly new shoes (easily 90% shoe material left) and complete hardware kits. P/M with any questions. Want a cheap complete set up? Here it is!

Located: Williamsport MD
$20+shipping. Looks like it will all fit in a medium flat rate box.

Thanks,

Will a Power Lok differential, currently in a 742 case work in a 489 case assuming of course you use the 489 ring and pinion?

If so, are the differential side bearings the same?

Thanks,

The car: 68 val
Original brakes: 9 in drums on all 4 corners
Upgrading to: front discs and larger rear drums

I never paid attention to the way the old (drum only) m/C fit the firewall, but with the new disc brake m/C the flange that bolts to the firewall just BARELY covers the cutout in the firewall for the brake rod.

Anyone ever encounter this? Did you do anything about it?

I am concerned about possible water leaks. I thought about making a sheet metal “washer” to go behind the M/C…

Hey all,

I’m trying to find one of those plastic plates that the mc dust boot clips on to and is samwiched between the firewall and mc. I’ve looked at Mancini, Year One, Classic ind. Not having much luck. Anyone know where I can find one?

Thanks

I am planning on installing a Wilwood single prop valve in my car to balance the disc front upgde vs. The rear drums.

Planning on using:

Can I mount this before the stock distribution block? I’d like to have It mounted on the drivers inner fender well, where it is accessible and more protected than mounting down on the frame rail like I see some folks do.

Found the same question in the post linked below asked as a response but…

I keep reading about a drip pointer/leg for the timing chain in LA motors. My 273 didn’t have one. It does have a slinger. Am I missing something, or did some engines come sans a pointer?

Thanks
