Up to 1970, 88 or 98 parts will fit. Everything changed in 1971. Drum and disk spindles were different. Aim for the 1969 or 1970 front disk system. But rotors are rare as hens teeth. Took me 10 years to find 2 good sets.

1965 - 1970Olds Full Size is all by itself -- # 260 Fronts -- 11" x 2 3/4"
and # 272 Rears -- 11" x 2"
I have some N.O.S. ++ Asbestos ++ such that you don't "rip up" these brake drums
-- because you don't want to be buying these brake drums!!!!!!!
Call me -- Craig -- 516 - 485 - 1935... New York.....

If your real question is about a cheap disk brake conversion, sorry, no. The 1965-1970 full size cars use a completely different front suspension and steering from the 1971-up cars. Nothing in the front end interchanges.

1965 - 1970 Olds 98 -- 98 -- Brakes

I didn't catch that you had an OLDS 98.....
The 1965 - 1970 Olds 98 uses the same Front 11" x 2 3/4" # 260 Brake
Shoes ..... but the REARs are all by themselves -- OLDS 98 O N L Y !!!!!!
Those are 11" x 2 1/2" -- the Old # 261 Brake shoe -- and I have plenty
of those also , including the N.O.S. Rear Brake Drums !!!!! N.O.S. !!!!!!
