Okay guys, might as well start gathering info for a winter project ahead of time.

We want to change both the Falcon and the Comet over to front disc / dual master & proportioning valve set-ups this winter.

I've read so much stuff regarding this swap my head hurts. Monarch / Fairmont / Geo / ect, ect.

What I want to know is what some of you have done and whether you're happy with the results.

Okay..........GO!

I would recommend just ordering a kit. There are a few to pick from. All the hard work is done and the prices are usually reasonable especially when you start factoring in your time to find all the parts.

Come on guys, surely someone out there has up-graded a 60's Mustang / Falcon / Fairlane / Comet and lived to tell the tale. I wanna hear the good and the bad and we promise not to laugh.
