Re: Disc brakes.

I agree with every else, that you may have a master cylinder,
proporationing valve, or air in your lines problem. I've installed
three of these ( 69 Dart, 64 Fury, and 70 Challenger) with no
problems.  The 69 Dart was changed from drum brakes quick. The first
time I ever drove the car was down Thunder Valley Dragstrip and I
didn't think I was going to be able to stop at the end of the track.
I took the car home and there were three long stress cracks across the
driver's side drum. I'm glad that drum didn't come apart at the end of
the track.
