Disc brake upgrade

As a ‘74 your car should have the later drum spindles and the large ball joint UCA’s. The easiest way to tell is to measure the ball joint flat to flat, the LBJ’s take a larger socket. I don’t remember the size off the top of my head but I’m sure it’s posted here somewhere.



Those factory 11 3/4” disks will outstop those cute little wilwoods everyday all day. And don’t let anyone with front runners tell you different. You want to really test some braking power run 275’s up front.
Yes, those 79 300's came with a lot of neat police package stuff - brakes were one. When I was racing, I converted them to manual brakes on that car and still had plenty of brakes to stop it.
