Drums to Disc 74 dart

[74DartSport]

I need to convert my 74 dart sport to disc brakes. I have been searching the internet and keep coming up with using 73 and up a body spindles and upper control arms in order to be able to fit disc brakes on my car. has anyone done this successfully before if so any advice or tips would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks

From what I am hearing, they used drums, and small bolt pattern, on /6 cars through 1976.

My Dart Lite, is /6 with small bolt pattern and 4 wheel manual drums.

okay, so I read the Big Block Dart and I gather that if I want to do a swap from SBP to BBP, 9" drums to disk, a Diplomat or a Cordoba would be a good place to get my parts?

If I change over from SBP for the fron disk conversion, wht is involved with converting the rear end to BBP? And where are the best places to get these?

Try this as it is almost the unspoken bible for disc brake swap with factory type parts & gives part #:

I have some cordoba spindles, small caliper brackets, backing plates, disks, calipers for $175 + shipping

They work on A's. They are slightly taller than the A body spindles, but, some, including myself have run them with no issues.
