73 Coronet Spindles On 68 Charger.Will It Work?

[RIDGERACER383]

I went to my local salvage yard today and they just got in a 1973 Dodge Coronet with front disc brakes.They want $80 for the spindles,calipers and rotors.I was wondering if they will fit on my 68 Charger?The car also has a really stout front sway bar which is thicker than mine.

[ACUDANUT]

Yes, they will work. You have to reverse the calipers so they mount in the back and give you clearance for a front sway bar.

[ACUDANUT]

Grab the brake booster and proportionate valve too.

[RIDGERACER383]

Sweet...I'm pretty sure they will sell it all to me for $100 that including booster and valve.

[RIDGERACER383]

How bout the distribution block too?

How bout the distribution block too?

A what ? 

[RIDGERACER383]

The brass block all the lines connect to in the engine bay down on the frame.

proportion valve

[RIDGERACER383]

Yeah thats what I meant..lol

[nvrbdn]

i would grab the whole system. cool find.

[RIDGERACER383]

I have a question.Everybody is talking about switching the spindles around because of the sway bar issue.The 73 Coronet has a front sway bar that looks like it is in the same location as my sway bar.If the Coronet has a sway bar with no issues why would there be a issue on my 68?

If the Coronet has a sway bar with no issues why would there be a issue on my 68?

Because sway bars attach to the control arm in different locations.

[RIDGERACER383]

Oh ok.

[RIDGERACER383]

One more question..Should the upper A arms be used off the Coronet for my charger with this swap?

[ACUDANUT]

They are the same.

[RIDGERACER383]

ok...thanks

[RIDGERACER383]

My car is already has a power brake booster..Can I use it or do I have to get the 73 coronet booster?

[ACUDANUT]

I would just use everything. The lines may be different.  Left side/right side
