WARNING
Yes, I have read and debated this issue on this forum before..most do not agree with me..if you don't want a dissenting opinion please do not read on..I have been called names for my opinion but the reason I do this is for safety...
My daughter drives this car a lot..it is actually in her name but she is 16 years old..For me, it came down to safety for me and my families life..I oped for tried and true..and safe..and I bought her disc brakes from a '74 dart.
These two articles convinced me to go the conventional way..

***** MUST READ !!!!!!!! DO NOT USE VALORE' OR ASPEN DISC BRAKE PARTS, THIS WILL CAUSE YOUR CAR TO HAVE WHAT IS CALLED "BUMP STEER"

Quote- Do not succumb to the temptation to use "lookalike" knuckles from later Mopars, such as 73-up B/R-bodies, F/J/M bodies, etc. These parts, while visually very similar, are taller, altering suspension geometry (camber change, bump steer, etc.), and possibly forcing the ball joints beyond their designed range, a/k/a “over angling”.
I am still a newbie with american cars so I am still on the leaning curve....A couple of weeks ago I took some advise from a gent that has been modding cars probably before I was born...the advice felt wrong in my gut but because of the reputation of this guy I followed his advice and pushed my misgivings aside. Two days ago my daughter had an incident that if she had been on a highway doing the speed limit, we would probably be planning a funeral now...the incident happened a low speed and I was able to get the car home.
I have no desire to be called names. if you disagree with me than I respect your opinion..please just respect mine..
