63 valiant wagon

[66 coronet]

At my cousins house right now, he has a 63 valiant wagon with a built 360. He wants to upgrade his brakes already has an a body 8 3/4 read fited with 10" drums and wants to fit disc brakes to the front. He has a nice set of wheels and tires so wants to keep the small bolt pattern. cab this be done? anyone tried this?

Yes it can be done as long as he has 14" wheels.
He could use the Kelsey-Hayes disc brakes from a ' 65 to '72 A-body .
There's also the Scarebird kits

Contact this guy and get one of his complete set ups. I've bought a few of them from him. Freshly rebuilt, ready to bolt on from ball joint to ball joint. They are worth the money and he's good to deal with.

Then get a hold of the Ram Man for a dual reservoir master cylinder, he has them in manual or power. He's very helpful and will walk you through what you will need to get it working.

Then when you figure out what master cylinder, and prop valve combo you are going to use, get a set of lines from Fine Lines:

You may as well get a dual cylinder master cylinder and plumb up the lines. If you blow a brake line with the single reservoir master cylinder, you loose all of the brakes instead of just one set with the dual reservoir cylinder.
