Iam sure this has been covered a million times, but I couldnt find it.  My 69 charger has power drum brakes.  Iam wanting to buy an aftermarket disc kit, but they all seem to offer different pieces.  proportioning valve, booster, spindles are included in some but not others............what all do I actually need to do a quick easy swap?

You can spend a butt load of money on fancy flashy disc brake systems or just call Master Power Brakes. Tell them what you have and what you want to do. They will sell you a complete disc brake conversion kit that includes everything you need. When I make this change on our 69 I'll buy from MPB. We did this to a 69 Chevelle we resto'd and the system was excellent. Lastly, I wouldn't spend a extra dime on multi piston calipers. One piston calipers are bigger and will stop the car just as well as high priced multi piston calipers.  :Twocents:

I used kit #6374SWBK-S from Classic Performance Products.  http://www.classicperform.com/NewProducts/MoparBrakeKits/Mopar_Brake_Kits.htm

The kit works great with my 14" Magnum 500 wheels.  I got my new master cylinder and proportioning valve from from Summit Racing.
