Default 64 Convertible Brake Swap

Changing my 64 convertible from factory front drum brakes to factory 69 single piston caliper power disc. I want to keep it looking close to stock. I plan on using a 68 distribution block mounted to the frame.

Would the correct front to rear brake line be 67? What brake booster do I need?
Will i need a separate proportioning valve? What abut the master cylinder?

I would like to go with stock 64 Deluxe hub caps, so I am thinking probably 14 x 6 steel wheels 68 -72.

Ck out this thread. It was mainly about routing front lines with RA exh manifolds but Cardo posts pics in #10 that may help.

Cardo sent me some great pics also.

Make sure the wheels will clear the 69-72 setup: some will not.

We do offer setup that will clear the 64 rims no issues

The GM 14x7 or aftermarket 14x7 will clear both the 69-72 disc brake caliper as well as the 67-8 dual piston brake caliper. (which is what I have on my '64)
