I am going to be getting the Wilwood frond brake kit and was wondering what other parts i am going to need to complete the Job. I want to order everthing at once and don't want to have any surprises. As it stands right now everthing on the car is still stock. No power anything.

It depends on what you have right now! If you've just got a single master cylinder, a dual would be a great upgrade, and power is always nice. What do you have in the back? Drums? Consider installing a proportioning valve either way so you can balance your modern, powerful front brakes with the old stockers in the rear.

if you're not upgrading to power brakes, get a wilwood dual tandem aluminum master cylinder, steel braided brake lines (your kit may include these so wait until you get the kit as any local performance shop will carry them) Along with the master cylinder, get an adjustable pushrod. You'll understand once you begin to put it on.

not trying to be a d!ck, but have you tried the "search" function? Wilwoods are a popular upgrade, and I'd bet there are several archived thread on the topic which will answer your question. I'd think that a good kit would include everything you need; my Baer 4 wheel kit had everything but brake fluid.
Good luck.

I'll be upgrading to the Wilwoods in a couple months. But, I'm going with 4 wheel disc.

I'd like to know what wheels and tire combo you use. I just posted a thread asking about 16" or 17" Chrome Edelbrock 454 wheels. And I'm trying to decide on the tire size. The rear should be easy. I'm a little more concerned about the front.
