disc brake question
You need a small bolt pattern disc setup from an a-body, OR you can buy the Stainless Steel Brake conversion, OR you could go with the Scarebird brand conversion (which is cheap and kinda hokey).
Stainless Steel conversion is well documented here: http://www.earlyabodyforum.com/board/messages/394/1138.html
You can identify the Kelsey Hayes small bolt pattern discs by their unique 4-piston design, and the caliper rides at the back of the rotor instead of at the front. Any 65-72 A-body could have them, such as an early Barracuda (more common in '66, but some late '65's got 'em), a Dart, Demon, Duster, Valiant, etc.
I've attached photos of the Kelsey Hayes brakes.
You will need a new dual master cylinder, the spindle/knuckle, rotors with hub/bearings, lower ball joint and a proportioning valve which gets plumbed into the rear line. Unless you find one from the same car as yours, get an aftermarket Proportioning valve that is adjustable.
A lot of this is well written up here-> http://www.enbcom.com/cuda/tech/tom_condran/index.html
