Manual with 4 drums. Called all the parts places close to me (live in small town) and they have nothing I would put on the car. But, one can order a Cardone for me. Isn't Cardone one of the original MC manufacturers that they used back in the day? I was thinking that Dodge/Plymouth used...

The master cylinder has gone out in my 71 Challenger. What's the best MC for manual brakes? I want to keep it more original as this was my dad's car and taking everything back to original as possible is my goal.

I need to replace the clips that keep the top down for a 1971 Challenger. Attached image of broken part. I have called Year One and Legendary Interiors, neither have the part. Does any one know where I can find replacements? :help:

I want to replace my old gas cap that is not OEM. Some one took my original gas cap while the car was in a parking lot back in the early 1980's. The car had rust repair and repaint in 1992. When I get the new gas cap, how can I get paint to match the car? Any ideas?
