Disk brake spindle and uca question

Respectfully, You haven’t read the whole thing. He is using a 73 k member so if there’s a sway bar there’s no interference either way.

there is a difference, here is some I for for the yourself and the OP.

73-76 A body calipers have a different feed and bleed orientation than do the diplomats and New Yorkers. Therefore when you try to rear mount them you can’t get the bleeder to the top like you should. People sometimes bleed them off the car with a 2x4 in between the pads to get a proper bleed which is not ideal or convenient for future servicing.

Correct and the preferred method of brake hose routing is attached to the car behind the upper control arm, crossing behind the spindle towards the front of the car. This ensures the least amount of hose flex and travel as the car steers from lock to lock.

@69GT if you follow the guidance I have provided you will have a smooth disc brake conversion.

This is pretty funny because there are lots of us who have done this. And there ARE interference problems because "we" often mix and match parts. My 73 K wears ?????NO ****!!!????? an early anti-roll bar. And if I ever buy an AFTERMARKET heavier bar, "it just might" be an issue.

Don't feed me this "correct" crap. Correct is what works. Many of us have made this work and Never Looked Back.

Bleeder--at the top
