breakConversion kit

[Serge Lapointe]

Hi i just bought a SSBC front disk conversion kit for my 64 newport. It is a power drum and the kit is for a non power break. They say it will fit

Do i have any modifications to do with my break peadle assembly or wit my booster.

Somebody allready fitted that on there car...??


Thank you

Serge

The full size SSBC Chrysler 4 piston conversion kit (A154-5) would appear to be a universal kit that will work with either a standard or power brakes. You should not have to modify the pedal or the booster other than to adjust the travel rod. Check to be sure you car has 3/16" brake tubing to the front brakes. Check it carefully for rust as the disc brake systems have significantly higher operating pressures than standard brakes.

Welcome! In general, the power and non-power brake items were limited to what hangs from the firewall, on both sides. Spindles and other suspension items were not usually a part of the mix, especially on 1960s and later models, AFAIK.

I suspect that most of these kits are indeed more universal in nature, with possibly a few things to customize them to a particular model of vehicle. There might be a few things that might need a little tweaking, but not major things.

Keep us posted, with pictures, please.
