if you are switching to disc from drum and have to change the master anyway, now is the time to consider power brakes...
NO, Disc brake hoses, and Drum brake hoses ARE NOT the same thing.Brake hoses, does anyone know if the front rubber brake hoses are the same between the 10 inch drum and the kelsey hayes disc? I also need to figure out what master cylinder to get.The car does NOT have power brakes. I dont think the current one will work being it currently has drum all the way around..

68-72 front disc brake hose?
Your making a mountain out of a mole hill here.
Just go to any parts store and order up any of those part numbers listed by the company, for DISC brakes.
The calipers don't care what hose is bolted to the hard line.
No difference in a caliper, unless your getting deep into rebuilding them, internally with differences in dust seals.
Don't care what the O'reilly's catalog, computer listing is telling you.
The part number isn't correct for both drum, or disc, two entirely different animals.
Dang, well that sucks, so as far as originals, what works, only units used on the KH cars or will 1973-76 A-body single piston disc prop valves work as well?Yes, i used to sell prop valves when i had them in stock, to sell.
But the supply of old disc brake A body cars in the Pick-N-Pull wrecking yards have dried up, gone away, a long time ago, even for California.
Haven't found one, had one, to sell in a long time.
Repops are available in the $80.00 + range, but it's hit or miss if your going to get one that works, or doesn't leak.
Your options are finding an excellent used one, or aftermarket, new adjustable one.
I have a stupid question about the lower control arm..The pivot shaft attaches the control arms to the K member but the pivot arm is just lightly pressed into the LCA bushing, so when tightening the nut on the pivot shaft, what keeps the whole shaft from spinning?

Well guys, i hope i am not screwed here, but i have a problem. I have started tearing the front end down today. I got one side completely off the car, unfortunately i had to remove the upper and lower arms, hub, and drums all as a unit because i absolutely could not get the lower ball joint to pop loose. I had my 150 pound grandson standing on a 6 foot pry bar while i beat the snot out of it with a 10 pound sledge hammer and it will not pop loose for nothing..I have beat the thing till my arms went numb..I already got new upper arms to go in, so now im going to half to buy lowers also which really sucks but its do-able. Now the real problem: I go to the drivers side and the upper control arms bolts are frozen to the control arm bushing inner shell and will not come out!! I can turn the whole bolt but they will not come out do to being frozen to the inner shell. I have had all this soaking all week in PB blaster. Every day i went out and sprayed everything. What do i do? I finally gave up after an hour of trying to get them out and came in the house..The tread title makes it sound as if the car broke in half or the OP lost his eyesight. It may appear daunting but a front end rebuild is not like a total loss.
Agreed.What about the "hot wrench" ? (Torch)
i dont have one but will go buy one if that will work..? just hope i dont set the car on fire because of all the penetrating oil on everything..do you think that will break in loose? it also sucks because i cant get a good whack at the bolts with the hammer because of the inner fender being in the way. The other side came right out no problem.What about the "hot wrench" ? (Torch)
