Looks like a reproduction '73+ A body kit. Probably comes from Master Power or Right Stuff. Should work fine but you might find the same thing in a wrecking yard depending on where you live.

Man those just look heavy


Get a good quality race brake kit and shave some weight while your at it.


I put Wilwoods on all 4 corners and dropped the ET just becuase of the lighter rotating mass.

I use the kit. For the money, it's hard to beat.

It is heavy, and it is a factory setup, but the parts are brand new, and you can get brake pads at Advance Auto Parts if you need them.

It's the single best thing I did to my car over the past forty years. The improvement over those old drum brakes is incredible.

Like I said earlier, it is the single best thing I ever did to the car.

If you bought the pieces seperately it would no doubt cost more and is a lot more screwing around. Ditto digging through some old boneyard, being bitten by insects and snakes and the like.

Everything is new, it fits, and you just take it out of the box and bolt it on. You can do it in a couple of hours. The only additional thing I bought was a $20 Jegs proportioning valve and plumbed it in.

You won't regret it...you'll wonder why you didn't do it years ago.

ted i know a mopar guy that lives close to me that has 3-4 73 disc A-bodys that you could probably buy cheep.I could call and ask him if you would like.all you really need is the A-body disc brake spindles. the rest you can get at the parts store that's how i did my 65 Plymouth. but he does have everything that goes with them.This is going on the 64 Right? thanks Bobby

Late 70, early 80's 5th Avenue's is interchangeable. I ended up using those spindles, turned the rotors that come off the car, and purchased new calipers...I had about $150 in everything including new hoses

You can't beat it for the price, and its nice to have everything there in kit form. Sure you can save a few bucks pulling stuff off crusty old junkyard cars, but how much is your time and energy worth to you? Its not race weight, but if you are still running factory drums with that 512" I've been reading about , this kit is a MUST!!!Jegs comes through again.

Jegs is rebranding an existing brake kit. I carry the same stuff for the same price.

If you call DoctorDiff he can make up a custom kit for you using those knuckles and lighter calipers. All the stuff is available today to build full kits off the shelf. Late model reproduction knuckles, my adapters, WW calipers, 11.75 rotors, bearings, seals, hoses, etc.

Does this kit fit the A bodies as well?

Description only says B and E bodies.

Scrapyards around here with available parts are non-existant too.
