Re: [Chrysler300] Whoa, Nelly

Rich,

While I'm not a degreed engineer as you are, I agree with your statement. I distinctly remember from my hydraulics class at St. Paul college that "in a closed system, pressures are equal at any point regardless of configuration". So, even with a proportioning valve in the system, the pressure would be the same, except of course for that brief time period when the brakes are first applied and the pressure reaches the non restricted components sooner. Unless the proportioning valve is more than just a restrictive orifice, I don't see any other action taking place.

Steve:

Good point on the plumbing acting as a proportioning system.

I remain convinced that “proportioning valves” are essentially time-delay valves. They seem to provide a calibrated variable restriction with unknown dynamic response. Transient-flow analyses of a hydraulic systems have probably been conducted and measurements taken to somewhat refine the old single-line systems. Eventually, (milliseconds?) the pressure will equalize and static elements such as wheel-cylinder size and shoe length and material will govern. That’s when more iron in the wider rear drums will assist in braking when towing a trailer or on a long downhill run. I believe over-the-counter relined brake shoes have generally lost any of these refinements. So, the plumbing does provide a crude but somewhat effective method of minimizing the premature lockup of rear brakes. The plumbing and distance inherent in the tubing you described certainly do create a similar time delay, but not adjustable. Mother MoPar may have even built a restriction into the tee block. Additional and variable restriction could be added by adding a “proportional valve” to the single line to the rears.

Whatever trial-and-error method may have been implemented by the various manufacturers, it seemed to be working as front brakes always wore out first, barring any malfunction at the rear-wheel brakes.

I also remain convinced that many people are now alive due to the continuous advances in braking since the early days of externally-contracting mechanical brakes. We should remember that Walter Percy Chrysler was an early advocate of internally-expanding hydraulic brakes in the mid 20’s. Henry Ford got on board, reluctantly, in 1939.

Keep calm and 300 on,

Dave, Rich

The 64 300 master cylinder (MC) is a single resevior, correct. That then supplies fluid going to and through the remote booster as a single line to a block of sorts(?). Then three (3) lines out from the block, two go to the front brakes, one line to both rears as a single line. The splitting of the flow essentially acts as a proportioning valve of sorts by reducing the brake flow/pressure to the brakes. 1/3 to each front brake, then the 1/3 to the rears is split 1/2 to each rear brake. I'm sure there is some physics involved but I hope you get my point. Going to Discs would have the same affect, the only consideration is the fluid volume required by the calipers delivered from the MC. My point is that the remote booster does "NOT" make a disc brake conversion impossible, just a little trickey, or is that "Trickier". IMHO.

Remember when you add the extra stopping power with the 3" rear brakes shoes, you will need to adjust the proportioning valve for less stopping to the rear. I did a similar job on a Montego Cyclone, went from 2" to 2.5" shoes on the rear. I immediately had rear lock up on hard braking. A second thought, going to 3" rears, I assume your front are also 3", correct? Or, do you have disc brakes on the front? I would suggest going disc's all the way round, front and rear. The front are an easy change with several choices, all using stock Chrysler parts. The rear also can be done using the 74 Imperial Rear disc set up. Believe it or not, it bolts straight on to the 8.75 rear end from the 9.25 Imperial rear. I did this on my 66 Sport Fury Convertible, anyway Good luck with it all, any increase in "Brakes" is a Good Thing!

I converted the rear brakes on my "Knewport" to 3-inch rear brakes. What was needed to go from 2 1/2 inch to 3 inch drums and shoes are support plates that that can mount 3" shoes, hardware and a 3" brake drum. Mine works fine. Three-inch support plates drop back 1/2 inch to accommodate 3" drums on the axles.

Be very
careful to get the parts for HD brakes as the wider rear
shoes may require different springs and nails. These may
be included under 300, wagon or HD suspension.
Rich in Brentwood with a 300 Ram K car having HD
brakes standard. 3” wide shoes & drums vs. 2 ½”
on most other ’64 Chryslers. Came to me with 2 ½” shoes
in the 3” drums. Worked OK, but t’warn’t right.
Shoe lining material and length on different ‘64’s were
different also, but that’s too much to ask.
