![]() ![]() It was originally a manual 4 wheel drum car and in the past I converted it to a manual master cylinder and front disc / rear drums. The back story.the car is a 1970 Barracuda California ordered car built in Hamtramck September 1969 (if that matters). OK.STILL banging my head on this conversion so I am asking for a life line from the pros. The Inline Tube system uses a black "Bendix Trapezoid booster" and that "looks stock" and it bolts up the booster and the master cylinder in a straight line with the brake pedal pushrod and then I see other units advertised have a dual brass colored booster that is mounted on a bracket that moves the master up and forward so it is no longer inline with the brake pedal pushrod. Now that I go online I see that there are a couple of different systems available. The system did not come with any instructions so I do not know how to connect up the linkage.IF.I figured out how to bolt the brake booster to the firewall. I am waiting for a call back from tech support. So either they sent the wrong bracket or it will not work for my car. So I bought the Inline Tube conversion kit but I am rethinking moving forward with this system 1971-1974 Mopar B-body, 70-74 E-Body, Disc Brake Upper Conversion Kit because I tried to install it however the six holes on my firewall do not match the holes on the replacement bracket. ![]() The master cylinder currently installed is the unit that has the large reservoir for the front discs and a smaller reservoir for the drums (see picture). The car originally had manual brakes with four wheel drums but the front has since been converted to discs (as I remember from 20 PLUS years ago) it was transplanted spindles and discs out of a 1973 barracuda (but not totally sure now). The car has stock 15 inch Rally Rims with firm feel power steering and the longer pitman arm. I want to retain the stock ride height and would like some better high speed tracking so I might think about new upper A do not want to go with the polyurethane bushings because the ride quality suffers. I want the "stock" look but am not excessively anal about it but I certainly do not want anything "flashy" or modern looking with cross drilled rotors with red calipers and anodized also do not want to have the "bolt on adapter" brackets for the front discs. ![]() I am currently running a front disc/ rear drum/ manual master cylinder system and I want to convert to power brakes and possible updated front suspension system while I am at it so I was hoping to get some suggestions from the Mopar Brain Trust. I am just now getting back onto the "Cuda World" after about 20 years so all of my Mopar knowledge is way outdated so I am hoping for a modern education. ![]()
