i have 64 F 85 olds with manual drum brakes, anyone know if there may be an easy swap from chevy nova,chevelle or others to convert to power disc up front and retain the rear drum. thanks

Best bet is to use 69-72 gm A body (Cutlass, Chevelle,Lemans,Skylark, Monte Carlo,Gran Prix(I think). ALso look for the wagons too. Pull everything that you can. Make sure that you get the proportioning valve on the frame almost directly under the Master cylinder. Get the spindles too, will save a lot of hassle. Try to stay away from the 67-68 stuff, they use some odd and expensive parts. Hope this helps. Greg

ive seen some conversion kits on ebay, think they were about 450.00 . not hatefull concidering you get new parts and can go bolt them on without the hassle of getting used parts off another car and having to resto them before putting them on yours..
