Looking to convert my 66 straight 6 from drums all around to discs all around. The car doesn't have power steering and I'm on the fence as to whether or not I want power brakes or manual brakes. Any good 4 wheel conversion kits out there? Also, any idea if these kits will be avail at the Englishtown swap meet (for those of you who attend)? Thanks!

 

I also have a '66 6 cylinder. Have not seen any kits to convert rears. Most people swap to 5 lug front and rear so they have a better wheel selection. I kept my 4 lugs and put the SSBC front power disc setup on. Got it from CJ Pony Parts during a sale for a good price. Mounting the booster is difficult but not complicated. Many partial turns of a box end wrench to tighten the nuts.

Plenty of front and rear, which is all a four wheel would be. You probably won't find a 4 lug rear setup though. Almost a 'why', and it's due to everyone who does the 4 disc goes 5 lug and swaps the axles for the v8 one anyway.

Besides, on a '66 I6, the rear drums are more than satisfactory, and you can just do the fronts. Rebuild the rears with new shooz, slave cylinder, and the backup rachet adjuster. Done deal. That'd be what I would do on Muskrat... if I still had her.
