Switching my 68 charger non power drum brakes to power front disc brakes...    Am I correct in the following? I know this has been answered before in different threads, but I do not feel like sifting through everything please....and thanks everyone

I so far ordered the following....is it all correct?

69 power brake booster
69 power brake master cylinder (lines come out engine side...)

73-76 abody spindles....have bearings/etc...

73 charger 11" rotors, calibers, pads, and brake lines...



On its way....did all from autozone, came out really cheap...is there anything I should have done differently? I was told this setup works...

Lines and valves in the picture above came from Fine Lines in Wadsworth Ohio.

Have you got the peddle linkage for the inside of the car and backing plate for booster?   :scratchchin:
