Disc brake conversion 67 Dart

I don't see you needing a kit per se. The only used parts your need are the spindles, caliper adapters, and upper control arm. Everything else you can order.

Here's the parts lists and how to ID large rotor caliper adapters: http://www.moparaction.com/tech/archive/disc-main.html

One thing nice about that stock Mopar setup is that if you want to upgrade to 11.75 disk rotors all you need is a $60-80 11.75 used caliper adapter (or find one in the junk yard). You'll have to run 15" rims with that rotor size.

I just checked www.rockauto.com and got some prices on the new stuff...

11.75" Rotors: $60 each new
inner,outer bearings & seal: $18/side new
Spindles with sheilds and 10.75 caliper adapters: $150-$200 pr for 73-76 A-body and $100-$150 for FMJ-body used
Calipers: $45-$60 each with pads $60 w/semi metalic pad new rebuilt
11.75 caliper adapters: $60-$100 used
caliper hoses: $60-100 pr braided new, $25 pr rubber new
disk master: $65 new rebuilt
adjustable proportioning valve: $45 (Mancini) new

I come up with $661 for all that. Minus $50+ if you use FMJ spindles. Minus $100 if you use $10.75 disks

For an A-body you will need some used upper control arms and new lower ball joints.

Here's a stock kit for 10.75 rotors without upper control arms: http://shop.primoclassics.com/category.sc?categoryId=2 Wonder if you could have the substitute 11.75 rotors. They aren't very much more money. Then you'd just have to find some used 11.75 caliper adapters.

You could do it that way if your really wanted with stock Mopar parts to keep it all Mopar, but I didn't want to fool with taking things apart and still have the old Mopar brake system. After install have to pay to have the aligned again... sure you could make marks and notes and put exactly back the way it was however but for me I would have it aligned just to make sure. What's a good aliginment job now days? $40??

I didn't have to change out the proportioning valve but that is always a option. I have never panic stopped the vehicle but have "laid down" on it pretty hard and all seems normal to me.


Take note that even with 11" rotors the web site says "These calipers offer 15-25% more braking then the later Chrysler factor 'B' body brake systems without changing spindles!"

In comparison my cuda stops just as well as my 03 Dodge Ram. The weight of the vehicles is different but the charastics and feel are the same.
