I've seen a plethora of conflicting ways to achieve the swap of disc brakes on an early A-body (62- ??).

Is there a definative source for a Howto?
I got all the components fron a 73 Duster (Uppers A arms, rotors, calipers) and purchased 73 upper ball, 64 dart lower ball joints, 64 Dart PST bushings.
Will this work?

Lower arms differ between the '62-'72 and '73-'76 suspension setups. Lower ball joints are also different '62-'72 vs. '73-'76. Despite this, sounds like you're most of the way there. You'll need to pick out a master cylinder (this has been discussed recently on here, check the index for threads with "master cylinder" in the title) as well as a splitter block and other small stuff. You'll need to decide whether to run a booster or not. And depending on which brakes you've got at the back of the car, you may need to alter the proportioning balance of the system.

There's no definitive "how to" because there are so many different ways of doing it!
