I bought the front and rear disc kits from Cass/DrDiff to convert my power drum to manual disc. I'm waiting on rear axles to finish the brakes. So, I can't comment on how they perform, yet. However, the quality is first rate.

My 66 had power drums. So when I converted to disc I used a too small master cyl. In hind sight I should have used the largest bore mc I could find. What I did was unplug the booster vac. Worked perfect as manual brakes.

i was actually wondering if i had the wrong setup and was seeing what opthers have used .
well the problem i am having is that my pedal is stiff and brakes need my whole body weight to pull up, i have a massive cam but this problem has oonly recently arisen as they brakes worked alot better a few weeks ago, only seemed to make a problem when i put 2" carb spacers on

Sounds like super low vacuum.

My setup is a hodge-podge, but it works:
1970 Charger
12" front rotors on '75 Dart knuckles/spindles. 1980 Volare 2.75 calipers
10.7" Dr Diff rear disc kit
Power booster/Master cylinder from a 75 Dart with a Comp Cams vacuum storage can hidden behind LH headlights in the inner wheelwell.
