1972 Front Disc Brake Conversion

They will last long after I am gone as much as I drive it.

Well that’s a shame.

At the rate I drive mine I’ll probably need at least a couple of rotor replacements, which is why I prefer kits that use off the shelf wearable parts.

I used a Pirate jack kit but manual.... and honestly i wish i had kept the stock drums... the discs don't stop as well and it was money wasted.. i wish i had my drums back at this point (trash it all of course) But with power i'm sure it will be fine. The pirate jack parts worked fine.

Well, I don't know how to say this but there is absolutely something wrong with your disk brakes then.

The Pirate Jack kit is based on '73+ Mopar disks, and in the physical world we inhabit there is no test where OE 73+ disks lose to OE 10" drums.

Not sure if you have some kind of mismatch of components, or if the cheap Chinese parts that come with the PirateJack kit are not the same quality as the OE parts, but the 73+ disks outperform the 10" drums in every way, shape and form. If yours do not, there is a problem.
