1967 B body drum to disc conversion

[68rrdream]

I found a used disc brake it for my 67 belvedere. It's a sweet price. Comes with discs on spindles and calipers. Will I need longer hose for them? Will they work with the factory master? Will I need a proportioning valve? Car is manual 10 in drum.

Something like this would work well for the master cylinder: ( I did a search for a 1973, Dodge Dart, 318 with manual front disc brakes)

Figure out what the system is based off of, pin or slider type Mopar caliper or GM based, and get some semi metallic pads. The packages are supplied with the cheapest ones to keep the price point down. However they're pads in name only. Thats what my wagon had. Noisey, didn't work worth a hoot.

He doesn't have much info to offer. Here's some pics. I looked up the part number and found the calipers but not what they're from. Nothing to go off of for the rotors. Would be nice to know what replacement parts to buy.

That's what I did when I converted my 67 over, he'll setup you up with hoses and get you a lighter MC, Fyi I did get a prop valve from him, haven't installed it but so far no issues without it, been 3-4 years now.

Looks like pin style calipers. 70- E/B and many other mid to large cars. D39 style pads. A body calipers, slider style from 73-, use D84 series pads. So say a Raybestos PGD39M would be a number to use or crossover from.
