Your dad picked a great car...
It's been a while, but I think I used a stout chain with the fore and aft holes on the cylinder heads where the battery ground is located. No issues, but I was pretty gentle with it.
I'd be interested in the driver's side (left), as I've got a later model narrow mouth on that side now. Works fine, but it nags at me everytime I see it. :)

I've got a 'new' Inline Tube one-piece stainless intermediate line that is too late to return, as my car needed the two piece line (proportioning valve on the driver frame rail). I'd love to get this to someone who needs it, and avoiding the restocking fee. Free pick up in Central IL, or...
KH83525 was the original 70 right side, KH83526 on the left.. The 'new style' bracket looks like a KH600034 for the driver side, likely KH600035 for passenger.

There are a variety of lengths of caliper pins too- both for...
Might not be in the Service Manual as it's not a core part of the power brake unit, and is mostly to provide positive disengagement of the brake light. Is this even present on '72 and beyond cars?

I second Mopar Nut's ground suggestion. It's critical, and likely they didn't put the strap back on, or if it was missing to add whatever was being used, even a wire from the sender to a body ground would confirm if that's the issue.
Not sure about the interchangeable part (at least for my '70), as the parking brake lever is a bit too large to fully seat in the trapezoid. I did think about drilling it out, but after considering the potential failure mode, I opened a ticket with the manufacturer's technical hotline. To...
Hi all- while attempting to do a major detailing of my 10x2.5 rear brakes, I ran into a problem where I received shoes with a rectangular cutout when their catalog shows a circular hole for the parking brake lever. In researching, I'm finding both versions show up for e-bodies and the...
