Hi Everyone,
Quick question.. I have acquired a set of 10" drums (complete package of spindles, backing plates, drums, cylinders,shoes and brake hardware) to put on the front of a 66 Dart with 9" drums. I'm getting conflicting information as to whether I need to get different Upper Control Arms or I can use my existing UCA's..??? Can anyone give me quick answer...!! :) Thanks

I believe it depends on the YEAR of the 10" drum spindles. If they are off a pre-'73 Dart (or any A-body), then you can use your '66 UCAs. Otherwise, I don't think so, but I'm not positive. Personally, I would skip the 10" drums and go for discs...

I agree with Lou, the UCAs are the same for 72 and earlier 10" set-ups. (non-"finned" drums)
