73 charger drum to disc brake conversion questions

[randy73]

All the kits I see are for 69-72 8.75, what is the difference in between a 72 and 73-74 8.75?

Do any kits use the stock ebrake cable?

Anybody use the Summit Racing conversion kit?

TO my knowledge the 8 3/4 was last used in 72 & only in the E body 73-74 , no difference anyway
Dr Diff has a great kit , this is another option http://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-1971-1972-cuda-rear-disc-brake-conversion-/350432508341?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item519767b9b5&vxp=mtr

8.75 was used in 73's and 74 had 9.25, though I have seen early 74's w/8.75.

73-74 Chargers had the rubber isolators (torsion quiet ride system) on the leaf spring holders. Different mounting pads , but I don't think the axles housing or internal parts are any different.

My rear disk kit from The Right Stuff uses Elderado calipers and came with new cables that where different then the stock drum brake cables.

The rear disks look good thru the wheels ,but don't make a lot of difference in stopping power and the parking brake dose not work as well as it did with the stock drums.
