First off let me say thanks to everyone (especially Doug Dutra) for the help with my my '64 Dart. I first wrote in Dec. last year and have finally got things sorted out. I put in a nine hour day this past Sunday: replaced plugs and added my fourth rebuilt carb, remade some fuel lines, etc. I've still got a little miss that I think carb and timing adjustments will fix. The next phase involves switching to disk brakes up front. I have the front suspension from a '73 through '76 A body. Can I use these disk brakes in conjunction with my 9 inch drums on the rear. I also have a 8 1/4 rear with 10 inch brakes out of a 340 Duster and am wondering if it might have too low a gear for my slant. Also, does anyone know where to get parts to rebuild or replace a ball and trunnion universal joint? Can the output shaft on my '64 pushbutton automatic be replaced to use the newer splined driveshaft? I know these are a lot of questions, but I'm not made out of money.
Thanks in advance.

: You can get a "repair package" from Atlas Motor Parts-562-594-5560.It cost around $45.You can also opt for Tom Condren's suggestion in his book.
