FB,
Nice Looking Car!! Never put 2 & 2 together that I was the one that asked you about the 15x8 Cragar with 5" backspacing. Yes I did all the work with jackstands. Considering retrojoe's post, I think the smart thing for you to do is give SSBC a call and find out from them what kind of instructions and exactly what parts come with the kit. |

thanks for the advice.
Retrojoe, I saw the disk brakes in PY. I am glad you told me. Bones, I think I have been hit in the head to many time. I thought I wrote you back before about the rims. I think I will give ssbc a call before I order anything. thanks fb Last edited by Fullback66; 03-21-2006 at 08:08 AM. |

I used the SSBC kit on my '69. Their instructions were pretty good. I bent my own lines, which I think made the job easier. Almost everyone I've heard of that tried to use prebent lines on a conversion had to send them back or rebend themselves.
Yes, it is a great time to redo the whole front suspension, including bushings- it's almost all the way apart anyhow.  When I did mine I only had a gravel floored carport, so yes it is something that can be done with the car sitting on jackstands- just remember- SAFETY! I would say the front disc conversion was the biggest improvement I've done as far as drivability.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
