Has anyone with a b body manual, front drum brake car change it to a front & rear disk ? Did you keep the original master cylinder ? What for brake valve did you use ? Did you use an adjustable brake valve ?
 
I used the MC from a 70-something manual disk Satellite and the proportioning/distribution valve from a '73 Charger with the spindles and front disks from a '77 Volare. When that MC eventually went bad, I replaced it with a 70s A-body MC. I bought the rear disk kit from Dr. Diff.
 
10 or 11 inch? 11 inch (or Hemi Drums) are adequate for me when working properly. I prefer to spend my $$$ on other upgrades. www.musclecarbrakes.com.
 
You need a disc brake master cyl. Dr diff has two sizes available. Plumb in an adjustable proportioning valve into the rear lines.
