    73-76 sliding calipers not sliding?

    I agree on the proportioning valve. I didn't mean to imply that Scarebirds brakes were not good. I think we may have a bad booster. Got the rear disc brakes from Dr Diff along with new axles. Very good quality.

    SBP disc brake conversion

    I have a 69 Barracuda with 10" drum brakes that I want to convert to disc on the front. I have spent hours reading posts and articles on this. I used to have a great write up on this but can't find it. I have a set of spindles, control arms and backing plates from a late 60's/early 70's disc...
