: I've got a '73 comet, 302, 4 door. So far, all I've done is split the exhaust. I want to get a new intake manifold and carb, but I also want to put disc brakes on the front. Is putting in disc brakes really worth it? Are they that much better than drums? I don't have a whole lot of technical experience, so if its really hard to do I might forget about it. I've noticed several times that my comet doesn't stop just extremely quickly, and have already had several near-scary experiences, which makes me want to do the brakes before the intake... Any opinions?
Don't know what the difference will be, but from the looks of it, and from what I've been told, you'll need the brake hoses, the proportioning valve, calipers, spindles, and of course the discs with hubs. Hope this helps.
