I'll vote on the side of converting to disks. The 9.5" front drums on these cars are marginal at best, especially with at big block. My first car was a 68 VC with drums and I actually had the brake linings come off the front shoes. Every Olds I've had since then received a disk conversion if it didn't already have them.
