What kit is everyone here using for a 4 wheel disc conversion?  I am switching from drum to disc on my 69 and it has power brakes. I was looking at the PST kit for $1249 for everything including master and booster.  Thanks.

The PST kit is directly from SSBC - I ordered through PST and that's what I got. The front kit was easy and awesome - the rear kit required some work but still easy to put on

Thank you for the response.  Did you reuse the factory brake lines or did you have to get new ones?  I found some thru inlinetube.com that is made specifically for a drum to disc conversion.

I reused my original lines - the kits are complete and comprehensive and include everything you need to get the job done.   :2thumbs:

Here is a really dumb question...I "think" I have power brakes, but how do I tell if its power and not manual?  Isn't there linkage for power that goes from the pedal assy booster and if its manual its a straight rod?

correct - if there is a bellcrank linkage you have power brakes -  if it is a straight rod then it's manual. Also - in the engine bay you should see a large booster if it's power brakes.  :2thumbs:

I have a Wilwood 4-wheel disc setup in one car, and a Master Power manual front disc setup in another.
Couldn't be happier with both companies.
