Disc brake conversion on 66 Satellite

Cass at Dr. Diff is a great Mopar vendor. Smart and honest. Really knows his stuff.
You need a master cylinder with the larger reservoir needed for disc brakes. Also get a booster for disc, not drum.
www.theramman.com and http://www.doctordiff.com/ both have disc setups and boosters.

Gotta use some blue loctite on brake bolts, that will prevent them from backing out.

No bolts backed out. These were slider type calipers that are held in place by the retainer plates. The machine work and or caliper fitment clearance was so excessive that in reverse the caliper would ride up off of the front of the bracket bending the retainer plate. That never happened in my 25 yrs. as a heavy line tech for Chrysler. But then again, we used all Mopar parts.

I'm talking about loc tite on the 2 caliper adapter bolts, not the 2 holding the caliper down.
