Introducing #ProjectBeepBeep – Code H 1968 Road Runner
I’d like you to take a look at one of my constant readers classic muscle car. First let me say that Bill has been an a long quest to find a car to replace this car: Back in the day. It was a long search with lots of phone calls with many …
I’m getting mixed opinions on the disc conversion. It seems with manual brakes a disc conversion is an improvement, but not as big an improvement as people think. Lots of MOPAR forum guys telling me their manual brake disc conversions were bittersweet.
Musclecarbrakes.com has a drum conversion that doubles the brake cylinder pressure and doubles the drag coefficients with ceramic shoes. It’s about half the cost of a disc conversion, and half the effort to install. I’m leaning towards this solution.
Can you retro fit discs?
The brakes are as good as drums can get, which by today’s standards is awful. Also, the ‘police’ brakes on 1968 MOPARs are not self adjusting. New video soon on my decision about brakes after I pull the rear drums for inspection.
Is it just me, or are the videos on this site getting better and better?
Bill – What was so terrible about the heavy duty brakes?
