Besides the rotor/caliper/brake pads, what other front suspension items are unique to this brake set up?
Are the spindles, UCAs and LCAs the same as drum brake for these years?
Thanks in advance.

The upper and lower control arms will be the same. So, the spindles and then the caliper, rotors, etc are different. If you have a complete setup, you could swap them out...

Bill the distribution valve is the same disc or drum on the 66-69 B body , there is a valve added to the rear line on the disc brake cars.
