They'll fit if that is what you really want. That would be a SBP setup with the KH four piston calipers. Not a great set of brakes in the big picture, but okay for a car that isn't driven too hard. Most people take the oppotunity to upgrade to the big bolt pattern but it is a hassle since then you also have to do the rear wheels at the same time and buy 4 new wheels.
Something that Mopar crowd has had to deal with for 40 years because some nitwit at the factory decided to use two different bolt patterns on the same basic car.

IT is sad that so many sellers are misinformed when dealing with Mopar stuff. Some people really need an education on these cars. There must be more idiots associated with Mopars than any other brand. Who ever hears the same complaints about Chevy guys? Is this because our cars are more complicated? Has anyone ever said they owned a 68 SS 454 Chevelle with 4 wheel discs and a 5 speed? As stated above, there were no big bolt pattern production A bodies in 1968. The 1973 model year was the first that Unicast 11" rotors and single piston iron calipers were offered, and they were all 4.5 bolt pattern.

Ask him to go out with his tape & measure from the rear side of any wheel stud to the center of not the adjacent stud but the next one over & it'll either be 4" or 4&1/2".

This disc brake question by the op is real simple to answer. If the brake caliper, is a four piston caliper, it's a Kelsey Hayes, small bolt pattern brake system, that's on the car. If it has a single piston caliper, it's big bolt pattern, swaped on from a Later A body car, B or E body, or even a F, M, J, car.

Will the large bolt pattern fit my car, a 66 B'Cuda. The price sounds right at 250. There are spindles, calipers and rotors.
You will also need 73-76 A-body upper control arms as the large bolt spindles use the larger ball joint. I would check and see if those are included too for that price.
