I want to put disc brakes on a '67 Cat, but I cannot find a kit for a Cat. I have a complete '76 Cat. Could I somehow make those brakes work on my '67? Or maybe somebody out there knows of a "kit for my Cat"

King, To perform this swap, at a minimum, you will need disc brake spindles, rotors, & hose brackets off a mid 68, 69, or '70 Catalina, Executive, or Bonneville. Impalla, Big Olds, & Big Buick are each different from each other & will not swap on.

The mid '68-70 Big Pontiac factory disc set-ups use a single caliper piston that can still be bought from the rebuilders relatively cheaply. When searching for a Big Pontiac disc brake set-up from these years, search for a set-up with the the thickest rotors. To my knowledge, only new rotors available, will be expensive NOS.
