I used this kit for my front conversion. In the interest of being transparent, I bought from a mechanic friend for less than retail. Its for a 67 Mustang, but it bolted right up.

Pirate Jack Kit

I only did the fronts, and chose to remain manual vs go power assist. I also had to source a few things myself:

There were a few things I needed to address to complete the front conversion:

• A disc/drum master cylinder. I got a 742 Maverick MC for a manual disc/drum car from Rock Auto
• I chose to keep the distribution valve to keep the plumbing simple.

For the rear:

• A residual brake valve from Jegs
• An adjustable proportioning valve, also from Jegs
• I plumbed these into the long brake line running under the floor pan. I spliced them in line,  just where the pan bends up to make room for the rear axle. The prop valve instructions had me set right where I needed to be in terms of adjustment.

I am glad I did it, even with a manual brake setup - much better stopping action and easy to maintain. At some point I may go rear disc, but am willing to live with the rear drums for now.
