disc brake deal on craigslist, will it work for mine.

[the_fatman]

so I want my duster to have discs up front, I found a set online for a 72 will they work for my 75 cause drum brakes SUCK! haha

that being said am I better off swapping to BBP rather than stay with SBP i know there are more wheel choices if I go that route. and I beleive that the short ford 9 I have is still ford BP, which is the same as mopar BBP if I have read correctly.... Let me know if I am off base, the help is humbling and helpful thank you.

fatman, '72 A-bodys had SBP (both drum & disc brakes) and you'll also be down-grading to small ball joint UCAs. Not many guys would go that route.

You'd be better off finding a 73+ A-body with discs for the swap. These parts will also be BBP.

I agree with - if you want to use stock 11.75" rotors (Cordoba) and `73 and up A-body knuckles, check out Mopar Action's article

http://www.moparaction.com/Tech/archive/disc-main.html

This has the advantage of using easily sourced stock parts and 4 1/2" bolt circle. Also, AR Engineering makes a kit to mount Wilwood calipers on those knuckles. Hot setup.

You can keep your uca's, as they're already the large ball joint style. You can get spindles and brakes off any FMJ car, so diplomats, fifth avenues, new yorkers etc all the way up to '89, so you can find them in any wrecking yard.

And ignore the Mopar action article on the fmj parts, it's flat out wrong.
