strange brake noise

sorry in advance for the length, but i want to give as much info as possible.

i have a 66 with a 289 and have recently upgraded to a front disc brake setup. the kit i bought was essentially a granada swap with new parts. it came with spindles with sleeves in them to accomodate the original steering parts. it also had a dual master cylinder setup (not a power setup, i didn't have power brakes before either). Ever since i have installed it, there is a clicking noise that occurs intermittently. it seems to be related to the push rod/master cylinder. it usually occurs going through the parking lot, braking at slow speeds, but also occurs at speed on the street. it also occurs at different levels of brake travel. sometimes i hear it right when i step on the brake pedal, but before the brakes engage. sometimes its during brake engagement while i am slowing down. the brake kit did not include a new push rod, so i'm not sure if that generally needs to be changed with a granada setup. one more thing, it never makes the noise when the car is stopped in park or neutral. i can step on it as many times as i want and the clicking sound does not occur. has anyone else ever experienced anything like this? any ideas as to what it could be or what i should try to do?

thanks in advance for the help!

I installed everything that came with the kit. I think it was definately a granada swap because the calipers are floating single piston. Also, the spindles that were included had some sleeves in them so that the outer tie rods didn't need to be changed. the problem is frustrating because its so intermittent! it might not happen at all on a 30 min drive, and then it seems to happen very frequently once it starts. i'm not even sure how to begin diagnosing the problem! it definately sounds like sharp metal to metal contact.

btw, i replaced the front bearings when i did this. they were also included in the kit.

that makes me feel a little better. the problem hasn't gotten worse in almost two years, and the brakes have never lost pressure, pedal has never gone to the floor or anything like that.

the problem is, circumstances have forced me to put the car up for sale, and i'd never try to hide the problem, but i hate to admit that i have no idea what it is

i did use this red disc brake quiet stuff. I don't remember if i put an anti-rattle clip on mine. do you need one on the inside and outside pads?

geostang- did you use an anti-rattle clip on yours? from the pictures i've seen it seems like that would remove the possibility of the pad moving around.

one more thing, about how much brake travel should there be for a 66 with manual granada brakes? or is that dependent upon too many factors? i think the pedal might be a bit too soft, but the brakes were so bad before i don't really have anything to compare it to.

finally got rid of it!!!!!!

i found a good install guide for a granada swap, and realized that the anti-rattle clip on the inboard pads need to be installed on the trailing edge (towards the rear) of the pad. i had them installed, but they were on the leading edge (towards the front of the car). If only the kit i bought had a decent set of instructions... oh well, at least the noise is gone. hope this helps anyone else dealing with this issue.

by the way, the tabs on the pads were mushroomed a little from getting flung forward into the caliper so many times, but it doesn't look like they were damaged enough to cause any problems.
