68 satellite disk swap

[mikrob]

Hi!! I need help about disk brakes.
Now I am choosing the components of the brake system for the purchase and I am faced with a problem and I need your help!
Front disc brakes from satellite station wagon 1973 include spindels
with this calipers

Rear drum brake from satellite station wagon 1973 11"
But I don’t know which way to buy the vacuum brake booster and the master brake cylinder correctly? 68 or 73?
Please, help me)

I would go with 1973 so it works together as designed with disc/drum of the same year. I'm no expert though, but at least you know you will have the correct size bore in the master cylinder and you'll also know that mopar probably improved the design and functioning of the brakes slightly as time progressed. Just my 2 cents.

I have a few thoughts. The spindles are a bit taller than the stock ones. This is a bit controversial, so you should make up your own mind on this. The hose connections on the caliper shown could cause hose routing problems. This needs to be checked carefully in all positions. The 11 inch drums could cause early lock up problems in your non station wagon, so an adjustable proportioning valve would be in order. 70 to 72 B bodies and all E bodies have the proper calipers. Dr. Diff sells the stock height spindles.

I know about the spindle, I read a lot of articles, so I did not find a definite answer. I will make brake lines completely new, unfortunately they have not survived on the car at all
But what to choose from power brake boost and master cylider I do not know.

I would use the 73 power booster and master, or new versions of the same. Dr diff will have what you need, unless a 100% stock look is what you are after. If you are using a stock sway bar, then you will have to mount the calipers to the rear. This will totally screw up your hose routing. I made up new frame hose brackets, for this situation and moved them around during testing until I found the perfect spot for them. Improper routing can be dangerous.
