So I've made the decision to convert from power drum to power disc brakes on my 70 Challenger, at least in the front initially. However, I'm getting some confusing info from some of the suppliers that is not consistant and was wondering if you guys might know the answer.
As I mentioned, I current have a factory power drum set up. Some places have told me I can use the existing booster but need a new master cylinder. Others have mentioned need to replace both while still some other info suggests I can just use my existing master cylinder and booster?? I don't want to have to modify the firewall to accept a booster that doesn't easily hook up if I need a new booster.
I know I can use the existing spindels. I plan on keeping the factory 14" wheels so that seems to limit a few choices as most require 15" wheels. Was trying to keep it to a 1 piston caliper but most kits seems to lead to a 4 piston which is fine just not really needed.
Anyone have any experiences with a particular kit/supplier both good/bad. SSBC seems to have a few kits that I think will work just a little confused still? Any input greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
