Front Disc brake conversion for 70 duster

[TechMavn]

after a long search appears only CPP has a kit that includes calipers, A arms, booster, master, proportioning valve and related parts to secure it. anyone else achieve a good result using any other kit ? would love to hear from someone who tried this. (note: SSB and dr diff are nice folks but do not offer full sets), drum brakes are tough! thank you for any comments

Wilwood has a kit for 10" drum spindles. I bought a set for my 65 Barracuda, but have not installed them yet.

That's what's on the Dart I just bought, Wilwoods. Have yet to play with them in person though..

I’m partial to the factory kelsey hayes brake set up. They are getting hard to find these days. I’ve heard good things about the wilwood and the right stuff brake set ups.

Are you looking for small or large bolt pattern?

I have an OEM set of small pattern complete in Indio.

I got spindles, backing plates, lower ball joints, rotors, calipers, pads, and an upper ball joint ferrell to fit the smaller upper ball joint from pirate jack foraround 400$ for both sides. Same as e body or 73 up a body bbp.

I've always had trouble understanding why people need power brakes on a light A body.

No power brakes here and car slows down a lot quicker on the top end..

I went with a Wilwood kit (front disc conversion) on my 72 Duster. Was super easy to install and stops the car really well.
