disk brake conversion

[onetuff76]

Ok I know I researched this before but I can't remember my exact findings. I want to do a disk brake conversion on my rear axle. Do I need a new proportioning valve, or master cylendar?

 

[Skyetone]

yes and no not in that order. Most say no on both counts but some say a new portining valve and some say a new master. I did niether and it seems ok in my chebby, but I don't drive it much yet

do the swap and then go from there...like Skyetone said you wont find a definite answer on this...BTW what rear axle do you have???D60???

 

[onetuff76]

I have done some research on this, and found some pretty good sites. I will have to see if I can dig some up.
