I have an MP brakes kit which is new parts that would have constituted the factory pieces of that era. It's cost effective and actually works quite well.

The fact that oem parts is used also means getting replacement rotors, pads, calipers etc. is easy and cheap.

I used the Aerospace Components kit for 69' drum spindles.

Unless you have a race car factory type power disc is best way to go. Replacement parts available and they work quiet well. Changed mine to stock disc power brakes from factory drums and am very pleased with results. (They now stop without all that extra leg power!) Good Luck.. Frank69
