I may have asked this before, but I can't remember.  I just finished up the front end on my 69.  I put the 11.75" setup on it from a 78 Magnum.  For the brake lines, I put on the front line kit for a power drum car since that is what it was and apparently the factory disc brake front lines are routed a bit differently.  I installed the front to rear line for a disc brake car, got the lines and the little metering valve that goes inline to the rear brakes.  All that stuff is on the car.  The last thing I need to do is get a new power booster and a new master cylinder.  I was thinking of going with the aluminum master cylinder used on the 77-newer cars and I know that you need a booster from a truck, just not sure what years.  Is it best to do that or simply use the correct booster/master cylinder that would have been on a disc brake car or maybe a master cylinder from a 76 Aspen that would have the 4 bolt style master and disc brakes?

They just started making the correct disc brake booster for a 69 again. http://www.mbmbrakeboosters.com/mopar.html. I think it is supposed to cost around $140.

The lines on that one exit towards the engine, mine will need to exit towards the fender.  I can get a new Bendix unit for a 76 Aspen for $75 that will bolt on to the stock booster.

I would use basically any disc brake master , if you get a later styule booster you can use the 2 bolt alum masters , there are different bores though , truck ones are lager bore , harder pedal feel & less travel car ones are oppositew with smaller bores

I was doing  little more searching last night on different MC's.  I going to get a 71 B body MC and use the 69 Booster, it looks like it would work out the best for what I have setup on the car.
