Re: Disc brake help



{ saved this from years back,,,,,,,,,,,I'm a retired mechanic. Here is what I did. Mopar action did a piece on this yrs ago. Now,I can only run 15" wheels on my setup. If you are so inclined,go to a U pull it,find a 75-76 charger or Cordoba. They have the pin calipers! These only accept 15". Take the caliper brackets and tiin backing plate. Buy new rubber hoses. Then,find a 75-76 Volare or Dodge equivalent. Take the spindles. Buy rotors,hoses,and pads for a cordoba. Oh yeah,take the old calipers and pins. Pins use,cals for core. Wheel bearings and seals get for cordoba. And dust caps. Mine ran less than 350 . Kits costs at least 1000. If you want to use 14" wheels,use the slider cals. Smaller,less stopping power for our cars. Mine are manual disc and am very pleased. Let me know and good luck!

I went with Pirate Jack on my 63 Dart.  Great quality, installation was straight forward.  When I realized both my calipers were for the same side of the car they rushed me out the correct caliper.

I was doing the same thing you're doing, going crazy looking at aftermarket kits. Stop looking at them do a little homework to ensure compatibility on your particular model
and find a mid seventies "A" body with front disc brakes that you can strip the entire front suspension and steering off of. Clean it up.Do any upgrades you want and install it on your 62.  

I have a 65 Dart and robbed parts off a 74 Barracuda.

I have a kit from Wildwood with 10.90
On my 62 Sport Fury convertible with a 413, have been good for me, no problems I would recommend calling Wildwood and see what they have  available

You need to check out your front rims to see if the brake disc will clear you might have to find different rims
