I've had my 67 coupe "finished" for several years now, won many trophies and drive many miles. Now I'd like for it to act more modern.
1) I need to do at least a switch from manual front drums to power disc brakes; however, they must fit inside my classic 14x7 magnums. I've found lots of kits, some "stock"-ish ones that should fit, but I cannot pinpoint a kit that has *everything* included to go from manual drums to power discs. Recommendations?
2) I'm trying to decide between doing a 3.55 posi third member and keep my stock 8" rearend on the car, or buy a pre-built 9" with 3.50, posi, and some discs brakes that will again fit my 14x7 magnums. I've no experience doing this work, is a third member install something I can do in my garage? My engine is only pushing 300hp, do I even want to think about a 9" or is it overkill? Where can I get a rear disc kit to fit my 28 spline 8"?
3) I NEED POWER STEERING! Again a complete conversion kit. I see some that seem to be $500 while others are up to $1400. The parts look very simple to install, is this something I can do in my garage? Will it be too hard to do with the engine installed?
I live near Albuquerque, should I just find a shop to do this? Can anyone recommend someone there, I'm fairly new. Thanks!
