Brake Conversion

Which later models (if any) with disc brakes would retrofit to my 66 Satellite.

73 to 76 a body

Search the forums for both sides of the 73 and up B (and F, M, J) spindle debate.

IMO, the issue is settled and I'm using an 87 5th Ave setup with a 2 bolt to 4 bolt MP adaptor to get manual disks on my 66.

I'm, 90% done, and just need one final line fitting, tightening, and adding fluid.

That article was written before the FMJ spindle issue was debunked.
You can get all the parts except master cylinder (or adaptor) and hoses from the same car for a lot less $$$ using the FMJ method.

Here's the "other side of the story"

I'd get the brake line from the firewall of the donor car, too, as it's longer than the one on your 66, and can be rebent and cut to fit (I just got done doing this), unless you're buying new.

The going price around here for both spindles, rotors calipers, and prop valve is about $75, and I've seen several that obviously have new rotors and pads. IMO, beats the heck out of the $5-600 ebay kits and $1000 "name brand" kits.
