I believe the 1966 disc brake option came with 5x4 1/2" on your A-body. Uh, WRONG................ ALL A-bodies through 1972 had small bolt. It is not a matter of just swapping rotors and rear brakes. There are multiple ways to get big bolt, but the easiest is to swap to 73-76 A-body discs and replace the rear axles with big bolt and matching brakes.
