It’s in a warm warehouse covered for the winter !
Can anyone tell me what kit I can use for Disc conversion? I stupidly ran out of gas on top of a mountain and couldn’t stop it with out standing on it it a boat

How are the brakes with gasoline ?
Depending how you drive for me anyways drums all around work fine. Going down a mountain may be another story though. But like I said in another thread you will you will never see a bumper sticker on my 69 Fury that says
"This car climbed MT Washington"

There 4 drum they’re ok but if you’re really going I do not have the faith for a guick stop
They fade when you hop on them it might just be me but most of my molars you could stop with your big toe!

I live in northern jersey and there are too many cars so you have to be vigilant

If the engine is not running, it won't stop any better with disc brakes! The best conversion is to find a '68-'71 donor car with disc brakes. You will need a dual diaphragm Bendix booster, disc master cylinder, disc spindles, disc rotors, calipers and the correct brake hoses for the front. You will also need to install a brake portioning valve to re-balance the system. If the car does not have 15" wheels, you will also need a set of those as well. The booster, calipers and master cylinder need to be rebuilt before they are installed. You will also need to fabricate the tubing necessary to hook up the portioning valve.

You can also use the late '72 to '73 spindles if you use the appropriate rotors.

``Won’t fit in my garage!``

Now you have to enlarge the garage to get the cat fit. My Imperial´s PO had done just that in his 2-car garage, where the other half has a recession of about 3x7´(heightxwidht), which is about two feet deep.
