Hi there. New to the forum. I just bought a 67 satellite with drum brakes. would like to upgrade to front disc brakes using OE parts. would also like to keep my 14" wheels. trying to keep costs down. Any help would be great. Thanks
If your car has a 66-69 type sway bar, it will interfere with the brake calipers.

Nick, What year was the dart? sliding calipers or pin type calipers?
1973. Sliding calipers. Any 1973-76 Dart, Valiant, Duster will work. Calipers are easily available as are rotors and pads. Mounted the calipers on the front on the Coronet. Had to mount them on the rear on my '64 because of sway bar clearance. On the new kit it came with an adjustable proportioning valve which I didn't care for. On my '64 I used the Dart one.
Some people mix parts from various vehicles but I wanted it all to be consistent. Plenty of stopping power. I didn't put a booster on my '64 but I may since I tow with it.
