    rear disc brakes

    one other thing to watch for. the portion of the rear spindles that the pads slide on tend to get nasty grooves worn in them. if you have these bad enough, the pads wont slide correctly. if you have a bad set, youll see what i mean. just make sure the ones you use are not worn like that

    Will this work?

    one other thing, make sure you got the dart's brake line junction block, youll need that too. its a combination valve/prop valve and if you use the drum brake block, stuffs not going to work right. other then that itll work great, i did the same swap in my 71 duster.
