I just did this same thing on my 68 malibu. The car had drum brakes and I
put discs on from a 1971 Monte Carlo. I went to checker auto and had no
problem buying new calipers for around $50.00 a set. They also had new
rotors for around $120.00 a set.
I havent replaced the proportioning valve yet, but the car seems to stop
really well. The fronts are quite a bit stronger than the rears now. I have
heard a lot of people like this set up, as it is easy to spin the tires and
warm them up when racing. I may still have the boxes for the calipers if you
need a part#, I guess these calipers were ysed on a wide variety of cars.
Jegs.com has an adjustable proportioning valve if you dont care about keeping
the car "original".
=======================================================
any information you have , part numbers ? Checkers ? Where are they located?
Thanks....John
