Do I need these and if so, why didn't they come with the kit? 1970 Superbird 440 Six BBL, 4-Speed, Dana, FJ5 1969 Daytona Charger 440 4-Speed, Dana, EV2 1971 340 Challenger Conv.

They are styled somewhat differently than the ones from 71 on up, till the end, when Chrysler stopped installing them on their cars brakes. So if you not an anal, correct assembly line type of parts guy, don't buy the 1970's ones, and get the 71 on up ones, or don't use them at all. Last edited by hemi71x; 05/03/18 08:09 PM.
