Finally installed the disc brake kit I bought from Mike a few months back. Quick and easy job installing the kit. Everything needed is included and all bolted together as it should. The worst part of this job is running the new lines from the master cylinder. The stock configuration runs the line from the master cylinder down to the left frt wheel ,across to the right frt then runs back to the back brakes. This puts the line to rear wheels on the wrong side of the car as far as connecting it up to the master cylinder. Also the line from the left frt to the right front is 1/4 inch tubing which should be changed to 3/16. So, I made up some new lines and figured it was a good time to install the Hurst Line-Loc while I was at it. All that's left is to bleed the brakes tomorrow morning ,take it for a ride and it should be good to go (and stop).
Just a follow up. The brakes worked out great and it stops 100% better than it did with the old brakes. The more I do to this car, the more I like driving it. The 90/10 shocks on the front end made a huge difference in the way it drives. The old front shocks were completely blown out.
