I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what radiator my car should have. It's a 69 charger r/t 4 speed car. 440, original 18 spline 4 speed Dana 60. Orig gear ratio not known. It has the large radiator opening. Thanks guys. 1969 Charger R/T under construction 2014 Ram 3500 Cummins 2006 Corvette Z06 2015 Corvette Z06 2014 BMW M5

What's odd is the car had the bendix power booster and disk brake master w/ drum brakes up front... Don't know how or why. 1969 Charger R/T under construction 2014 Ram 3500 Cummins 2006 Corvette Z06 2015 Corvette Z06 2014 BMW M5

Do the master cylinder lines exit on the driver's or passenger's side of the master cylinder? From what I've seen if it has discs front then the lines exit on the passengers side...drums on the driver's is that what you are saying when you say it has a disc master cylinder?

Assuming it was the original rear axle 11" drums would have been a drum brake car and it would have been 3.54 geared , 10" drums would have been a disc brake car , but it could have been either. Again assuming the original rear there is a number on the pass ide tube that telss how the rear was originally assembled. That said you have a 493 stroker , get the 054 , the only one that will complain about it will be your wallet $$$$
