Re: Brake Kits

[Dan McCormack <mcwheels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Master Power Brakes is a good company Herb but the last car I converted I 
did using the Disc o Tech article in Mopar Action and it cost me about $350. 
The only parts you can't buy off the self at NAPA are the spindles and dust 
shields. If you cant find used ones I believe Master Power Brakes sells the 
reproduction spindles separately. It's just my opinion but I feel that rear 
disc brakes are a waste of time and money since most all of the braking is 
done by the front brakes.

Subject: Brake Kits



I know this subject has probably been addressed but may I readdress it?

I just found another 63 Fury that has a great body no rust and a very good
interior. Problem is a couple of non mechanics have owned it and tried to
make it into a race car. It was originally a 6 cylinder car that has home
made mounts, the pan is resting on the cross link, the rear springs are
bowed backward from long shackles and a and a..... So they have left their
dirty fingerprints all over the suspension, brakes & K frame. I have a big
block K frame & newer style 8.75 axle to replace the originals. I am going
to upgrade to a 4 wheel disk kit. I saw an ad in MoPar Collector Guide for
Master Power Brakes out of North Carolina. Has any one had any experiences
with them and their products? Would any one recommend any company over them
or are they as good as any one else? What say you all?  Also as far as an
engine I am currently researching installing a 6.1 Hemi in it.  The
interesting part is the 6.1 will mate right up to my push button torqueflite
 How cool is that??

Thank You in advance!

 Herb
