I would just as soon buy the U.S.  So BULL do you have the Part #on your receipt so I can figure out which rotor to get. Even if it is not from NAPA I should be able to cross reference the P#. Worst case I will order one from where you bought yours and measure the thru the spindle depth to see which NAPA ones to get.

     Hey guys. I just went to Advanced Auto Parts today and asked them for a master cylinder for a 73 Dart. He showed me the part numbers. It looks like the NAPA numbers and the A1 Cardone numbers are about the same. The Cardones are reman. I hope the power brake cylinder will fit my manual car. I am using the Scarebird kit with the Government Motors parts. I will check with NAPA and see if the numbers match for the power Dart setup. I know this might be old info but I thought I would put it together in one post.


NAPA
True Stop 10-1475

A1 CARDONE
10-1493M    manual brakes

10-1493      power brakes
If it ain't wide open; it ain't running.        Rule number one in motocross racing: Pin it; row the gear box; and wait until you hit something.     At work my motto is: If you need me, call someone else.

yeah this post is old but I am still trying to figure out which 77 Fury rotor to order for my car. I actually had some other stuff to do so kind of put this to the back burnner but am ready to do the break swap now.

 I heard you can use the 11.75 inch rotors from a 77 Chrysler Cordoba. At least I believe Scarebird lists those as the ones.

The Napa p/n I found on their website for the Fury rotors is NB 4885579 but my receipt just says 85579.

Thanks BULL That is the last digits in one of the part numbers so I think I will give those a try first. Thanks for the help.

Bull Well I am getting ready to order the porportinoing valve from Wilwood. Is there a certian one I need. Thanks again  Troy

Well I finally got to the disc break conversion and am almost done. The only question I have is that since the Mopar tech archives article said to hang the calipers off the front and I did that. I have a 70 Charger so the sway bar should not be an issue. However I see that now the rubber break line runs from the back to the front. It now has to go under the upper A-arm to get to the Caliper. I cannot see where it will ever get pinched by the A-arm/shock, but I just wanted to see if you guys mounted your spindles to hang off the front like the article says and see if you have had any trouble with break lines.
