61 Olds 88 Front Disc Coversion
Has anyone used ABS Power Brake Inc. conversion? I just want to know if there are any issues with turning end to end. They say stock wheels will work with their set up.
Thanks

If you go this route and the stock wheels do work, LET US KNOW! Everything I have read is to the effect that stock wheels will NOT work?

Their listings look suspect to me. They say 12" rotors are included - no way will a 14" wheel fit! Also, they list one part for '65 full-size Olds including J88. Again, no way will a single kit fit both of those (different spindles & wheel bolt pattern). Also, no listing for '66-70, but if it fits '65, it'll fit the rest.
Too many discrepancies, looks like they don't really know much about Olds fitment.

I do not see how that could work with 14" wheels with taper you can't even get 11" rotors and calipers to fit. My 57 is similar to yours. I would ask them for the outside diameter including the caliper and do your own measurement to verify. I bet you will find that you need 15" wheels. I used the scarbird with 11" rotors and needed to move up to 15" wheels. I did the front and rear disc brake kits because everything is replaceable from Napa or rock auto.

I used a kit from these guys on my 69 not sure if they have your application but mine worked with stock 14" wheels
