charger brakes/challenger brakes. Whats the difference?

[challenged72]

Ok so Ive been searching a lot and couldnt find anything at all

Does anyone know if disc brakes from my 73 charger will work on my challenger?

also if it will all bolt on or what will/wont work

Thanks!

quick answer - yes it will bolt on

long answer - see this thread: http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=61141.0 - Shadango went to slider calipers, you can use the pin type that the charger came with.

I see, so will this change my bolt pattern up front then?

Also stupid question, how can I tell if my drum brakes are power, same with the chargers brakes

Thanks

Challengers and Chargers have the same brakes/bolt pattern.  so the pattern won't change.  The only difference in the braking system with power brakes is the addition of the master cylinder.  The actual brakes are the same.

OK but the splindles are significantly taller with the floating K frame used in 73-74
do those taller spindle work , I have been using Volare & 5Th ave spindles

73-89 B/R/F/J/M use the same spindle

oh ok, then I got lucky because I already have the MC and the valve.

I would probably just stay with the pin type calipers.

does anyone know if they just bolt right in with the spindles and everything, or will I need to bend new brake lines and etc

Thanks for all the great info, I would have hated to drag that charger into my shop (steering box is gone) and take the brakes off and try them and them not fit

does anyone know anything about the chargers suspension, anything that would benefit me? Thanks

the only thing significant to you is the spindle/brakes.  73 was a major redesign (floating K-member) and nothing else really swaps (tie rods? maybe...)
