Hi all, I’m new to the DIY mechanics projects and need some help replacing my break system. I have a 1968 Dodge charger, originally had Drum breaks and previous owner tried to swap out the front for disk breaks. The break pedal I have to mash to the floor and it feels like it eventually coasts to a stop. Not at all confident. In doing some research I think the problem is the disc breaks won’t work with the current master cylinder and booster since they are for drum. Can anyone confirm this? Also I want to replace everything! New booster, master cylinder, break lines, full front and back disc conversion kit. I don’t want to order the wrong parts. Can anyone help guide me to get the correct parts and suggestions on where to get them. Right now I’ve looked on jegs, however looks like there is room for error if you don’t order correctly. I’m also speculating the front end is not original, maybe off or coronet. There are no pre drilled holes on the body for the chrome side strips. Thanks everyone and I appreciate your patience. I’m looking to make this my dream hobby now that I have a little time and a couple bucks!!!
