Front disc installation

[Raycuda]

My 71 barracuda has 4 drums original. What suggestions about converting front with disc brakes. Is original equipment available? Or should I go with aftermarket? Just don't like the 4 drums the way is stops.

I goy a brake conversion kit for the E-body from Jeggs. Happy with the results, but now I have to figure out where to getpads from, other than Jeggs. I think they may be Chevy pads.

@Raycuda do the pads look like these? If so, 1990 Chevy Celebrity pads.

It has been about a year since I did the install, and do not remember what the pads look like.

Well these are my head start. Removed from a recently restored ‘73 in favor of some Alterkation front end.

I have the same brakes on my Barracuda but drilled and slotted rotors. The car stops great, very hapy with the disc brakes. Did you also buy the proportioning valve from the donor vehicle?

I got the assemblies second hand so no. About to buy everything else from inline tube. I’m going to rebuild the rears, check all of the lines and obviously add the proportioning valve, hold off valve and new master.
