i have from a 71 mustang the spindles, calapers, etc. In fact, the guy i bought them off of took a torch and cut the tie rod ends and lower a-arm and sold me it as one big piece. i know i need 71 inner and outter tie rod ends to get the spindles to mount, but what about the MC and distributor block? Will a 67 distributor block work with the 71 calipers? Are there any other lines I need to run? I am going to get a MC for a 67 with disks, but the distributor block for a 67 with disks has more line connection points then my drum one. I've read articals on the Granada swap and such, but I haven't seen one on using the 70-73(which is suppose to be the best due to the larger and beefer spindles). Anyone got anything?

ok, I did this with 70 parts. Dont know if you are using power brakes as part of this. I didnt. I used a (I think) 74 maverick MC. Ask for one that is from a car with front disk, rear drum, non power. It will have the right push and travel. You will need some adapters or custom lines to make the lines hookup. Use your existing distribution block (note I dont say proportioning block), and an adjustable proportioning valve...I used a wildwood. Get the kind with a dial, not the swingarm. I know you will need the ball joints from the year spindles you have. Check this out:



if you need a bigger version of that, let me know and I will link it.

You would plumb it in from the rear bowl of the MC (goes to the front brakes), but before the distribution block. Easy easy!
