Best bang for the buck (and engineering) is a 73-76 A-body style brake setup from Dr Diff.

Yep, adjustable proportioning valve.

Look at Scarebird to be able to keep small bolt pattern.

73-76 Dodge Dart manual disk brakes. Try Dr Diff’s prices because his kit is 100% complete for $450

I used the a-body master because it has a 15/16" bore and provides a better pedal feel. The larger the bore, the harder the pedal feel.

If your car was a manual brake car originally, your manual brake pushrod will work with your manual disc master cylinder. I'm assuming you're using a 73-76 a-body manual master cylinder.

Dr Diff has disc brakes for your wagon whether it’s an A, B or C body.

I’ve had good luck with Gibbs. Welcome to GIBBS Brand Lubricant

The car looks great. Should stop exceptionally well too.

What went wrong? I don't have any personal experience, but a couple friends have used them on an A100 and a Sweptline.

There are a few questions you should answer first. Do you want to stay with small bolt pattern(SBP)? Move up to large bolt pattern(LBP)? Make any suspension upgrades at the same time? Scarebird has some pretty good options Mopar You wouldn't have to tear into your front suspension either.

Also, the Wilwoods use 1/2" studs even for SBP. So finding a 1/2" lugnut to bolt on a steel wheel intended for a 7/16" nut might be an impossibility.

It will widen your track width, but not as much as the 73+ disc conversion.

Another thing to think about with the F,M,J spindle is the wider track than your KH spindle. The F,M,J will move your wheel out toward the fender an inch each side.

There is a lot of good info over on sweptline.org. A lot of guys use the Scarebird disc conversion.

The "studs" are actually bolts that screw in from the back side of the hub. Not sure if there is a solution to get a 7/16" stud.

The stock 14 X 5 1/2 steel wheels will physically fit on the Wilwood hubs and spin freely. The problem I see is the wheel studs on the Wilwoods are 1/2" compared to the steels wheel's 7/16".

I have two A-body 8.25's with 11" brakes.

The main problem with using a small bolt pattern steel wheel is lug nut size. The Wilwood uses 1/2" studs and the small bolt wheels are for 7/16". A 1/2" lug nut will not safely mate up to the tapered seat on the wheel. My 14 X 5.5 small bolt wheel physically fit over the caliper and onto the hub.

You could use a large socket to drive the seal on.

Doesn't the Wilwood kit replace that bolt with a new one?

If you have a dedicated brake supply house near you, I would check with them.

The Wilwoods will not work with 14" wheels. They use 1/2" studs too, so if you plan on using small bolt pattern check for lug nut clearance.

Master cylinder, prop valve and brake lines. I have not tried bbp disc brake 14" wheels. They would not clear my 14 X 5 1/2 small bolt wheels. Looks like I am not using these on my wagon...maybe my Barracuda will get them.

I have one of those kits that I might use on my wagon. The only thing holding me back is that my 14" steel wheels would not work with this kit. Everything is high quality and easy to install. The thing that I really like is the close to stock track width of the front suspension. This kit is for...

My Wilwoods just barely clear 15" aluminum wheels but not steel wheels. I had to use a spacer to use steels.
