RE: Disc brakes.

[Tom Duross <tduross1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There's something smoldering in my burnt-out brain about 65's, mostly because I drive one.
There was a one year issue with control arms or pitman arms, can't remember which.  Anyone?
The bearings are larger than 62-64's and I believe as are the geometry of the arm.  I think.
I wish I could remember because when I met Rick E. once, he said what it was.
There is SOMETHING specific.  That much I remember.

So let me understand this correctly...the disc brake spindles for an
A-body & B-body are the same or at least interchangable? And if I want
to put disc's on my 65 Coronet, all I have to do is pull off the drum
spindles and replace them w/ 73-76 A-body spindles and other brake
parts? No control arm change? Any front end geometry issues after the
fact?
