Re: [Chrysler300] Disc brakes

[JettLarry@xxxxxxx]

Exactly right about the residual check valve in single cylinder drum/drum masters..  Installed the AAJ kit on my 66 and 48 but used dual masters from wrecking yards (1985 Fifth Avenue and 1977 Dodge B200 Tradesman) which were for disc/drum cars.  No problems there.  When I put the kit on my son's 1968 Charger, the front discs hung up and got real warm quickly.  Foirtunately son  lives just a few miles from Roger of AAJ and he (Roger) made a house call to son's house and did something to fix it.  Roger has the answers...

I think one thing most hobbiest forget is that drum brakes contain a "residual 
alve" which holds a specified amount of pressure in the line to keep the 
inings in position near the drum. In my previous attempts to (retain 
riginality) or install combination brakes (on mexican road race car) or use 
xisting Masters on a disk brake setup; we had lots of problems with this (the 
iscs were dragging). We, as I recall had to locate a dual Master cylinder (of 
he correct volume ratios) which was used on a car which had discs front and 
rum rear and it worked very well. (not an easy task as most dimensions for OEM 
ylinders are not published or we could not find them [pre internet]) 
f you recall there were a number of years in the late 60's and early 70's where 
ost cars and trucks had the dual brake set ups.

 recall previous discussions of this problem that led to an addition to the 
ap of an extended small diameter tube and cap that would allow filling 
sing a turkey baster. Sort of like the fill tube on an automatic 
ransmission-level perhaps checked with a dipstick? One would think that 
AJ would have worked out this problem already.

I am in the process of installing a system From AAJ on my 300F. I have done 
 test fit of the master cyl and am finding it will be impossible to remove 
he lid supplied (mopar cyl). Is there an alternative cyle or a cap with a 
ower profile? I have the canister style booster.
