Brake reservoir
« on: April 19, 2013 - 02:21:44 PM »
On a 74 Challenger how is the 'proper' brake fluid reservoir configured? Small comparment to the front, large to the back or large to the front and small to the back. The car has power brakes, disc on front and drum on back.
In search of the eternal buzz!

The large reservoir is for the disc brakes. The piston in the caliper is larger, thus needing more capacity for fluid transfer.
If I cant fix it, it's broke

But is that large reservoir at the front (toward the grille) or at the back (toward the windshield)?

At the back towards the windshield.

They only make them one way, if Im correct.  You find one where the large reservoir is in the front for your application?
