    just got a 76 power disc car which is about the only thing good on the entire car. i am going to run this entire set up w the booster on my 73 4door ldo. i keep hearing of people running 2 piston calipers from ???? that bolt onto the disc spindes and i figure nows the time. i have a versallies 9 w discs going in as well so will i be fine with the prop valve from the 76 even though its rears are drum? also is the fitting for the rear brake line different on my 73 that the 76? obviously the line isnt bent correctly...yet pics would be appreciated

    Starsky, I think what your looking for is commonly called a "GT-nada conversion. It uses the PBR pistons from a 94 and up Stang with some adapter brackets to fit to the Granada/Maverick/Comet spindle. I made a set myself for my 65 Falcon from some instructions I found on line a few years back.
    I posted the drawings here:
