Talked to rep at wilwood and said drum kit fits spindles up to 72 after that there's a kit for disc to disc conversion. We took drums off and holes don't line up and the spindles are two piece held together with 5/8 bolt? What is going on? What do I need to do or get to make this kit work I don't want to have to order different kit. Thanks everyone

If your Dart has drums on it and is a '73, odds are it has '73 Drum spindles on it. Wilwood doesn't make a kit for the '73 drum spindles as you mentioned above. Your options would be to find a kit that uses the '73 drum spindles or find '72 and earlier spindles, I'd think. I'm still curious about the spindle being two pieces.

Drum spindles are pretty close through the years but 72 and down had smaller bearings on A-bodies and the 9" drum spindles used smaller bolts to hold the lower bj than 10" did IIRC. Mopar to the bone!!!
