Pirate Jack Ft Disc Conversion Kit

Bryan H · Oct 25, 2017

Just received my Disc Conversion today! Came quickly as I ordered it last Wed nite and all 3 boxes came today. Packaged very well and all parts are in great order and nice and shiny to boot! The 11" drilled and slotted rotors look beefy too. Kinda excited about this. Next week the Coronet goes in the garage for the Winter for this conversion among other things. Doing the Poly to a Wedge motor swap, then new leafs for the rear and shocks. All goes well, I will be in for a treat come Spring.

Post up some pics when you start the work!
Who did you get the conversion from?

Congrats. Just a friendly warning, if you bought the master cylinder also I would suggest taking it apart to clean it. Not ripping Pirate Jack in anyway because I love my stuff from them but my MC was full of shavings in the piston bore and I had to clean it out. It's easy insurance before you install it.

Did you find them while bench bleeding it? Just curious

Just got it in for the Disc Brake Conv. Looking to swap out the torsion bars and add stiffener plates on the LC Arms while I'm in there. Ft brake hoses a little past needing to be replaced I can say. Needs a good degreasing!

Did the same conversion on my 64 Belvedere and it was easy. All the parts mated up fine and it works great compared to the drums.

Hoping mine turns out as well. I would think anything would be better than drums on all 4 corners of a Bbody. I had a bunch of Bbodys with drums and they were not too bad, but never tried to stop a Bbody rolling 60mph with them ever, until this past summer. It was a bit scary to say the least. This was def getting done this winter if nothing else.

Weld up the slots in the tie rod adjusters while you're in there. I did all but the final 1" or so on a previous car. Cheap, easy mod.

Discs make a world of difference! Mine comes down quick and straight from 120+mph.

Thanks Dodge 330! I will do that since Im taking them off to get cleaned up too. Yea, I'm sure its going to be a major improvement. Got my new leafs in late last week as well. Going to be an all new ride in a few weeks.

Hot and heavy on it now, but have quite a bit of cleaning to do. Valve covers and pwr st must have been leaking for years! The LC arms are clean, but need new bushings and pivot pins. Mine were NOT straight at all!
