Drum to Disc on Early A Body Problem

cosgig, After replying to your post you got me thinking about the caliper position so I started checking for pics on where the caliper should be front or back. I went to the net and found them mounted both ways. See pics:
Caliper to rear

Caliper to front

Now I am confused! which way should I mount them. I also found another post from pettyblue with his pic showing it on the front as you described. I dont know if the Cordoba VS Duster location is different or not. I was told when I bought these parts that they were from a Cordoba and thats what I bought the calipers for. Does it make a difference? One of the rear mounted articles I found said having them on the rear kept dirt from entering the rear piston caliper area. The biggest difference I can see it would make would be the position and angle of the spindle which if wrong would make alignment impossible. I looked at that tonight and They may be on wrong sides. Is there a way to tell? Part number for brackets or spindles? Thanks for pointing this out. Now I just have to figure if its on right or wrong. Im hoping someone can help figure this out.

I have done research on this and on A-bodies the calipers are to be mounted in front mostly to safely run the brake lines without them rubbing or binding your suspension. But, you also want to make sure the bleed valves are at the top and pointing up to properly bleed the air. Calipers can be run in the rear as done on my '71 Pro Street Demon (improperly by previous owner) but again hose routing is an issue. Mopar Action and Mopar Muscle have both done articles on this common mistake.

Found the MOPAR ACTION tech link that I referred to: http://www.moparaction.com/tech/archive/disc-main.html

Print this and it'll shed a lot of light on front brake conversions.
