This and this link (A body part at the bottom) should answer most of your questions. The biggest decision you have to make: do you want to keep your small bolt pattern wheels or do you want to upgrade everything to the more common big bolt pattern? |

Ahhh, your choices become a bit limited then. One option you have is the stock disc brake setup from that era, also known as the 4 piston Kelsey Hayes setup. Finding these parts is getting tough. You will need the spindles, lower balljoint, calipers, dustshields, hubs and rotors. Think the hoses are different too, can't remember that one. This will fit the stock 14"x5.5" rims. What size drums are on there now? If its the 10" a setup like this may be less hassle. Just watch its requirements for wheels. |

The Kelsey Hayes 5x4" bolt pattern disc setup ended in 72, I want to say 68-72. In 73 A body discs went to 5x4.5", same as the volares and other f bodies used. I believe the KH setup is the only factory option for discs in that bolt pattern. If you find a 72 and earlier dart in the yard with discs, you can use those as I described earlier to keep the SBP. If you find a 73+ one with discs, you can use those as described in the articles however it will be BBP. |

Any A-body car through 1972 if equipped from the factory with disk brakes will be SBP. That means Valiant, Duster, Demon and Dart. Any other Mopar will have the large bolt pattern on the rotors and hubs, |

Any ABCEF disc brake cars after 72 are BBP. A body disc brake cars before 73 are SBP BCE disc brake cars before 73 are BBP You might think about using F body brakes but you still need a 73 up UCA..... |
