Does anybody make a drum to disc conversion brake line kit.I talked to ground up and there brake line kits are made for there brake kit because of a special bracke they use.I need to know what the best way to do the lines is and also do I need to change the prop// valve or can I use my old one?

I think that you can use the drum brake lines with the new disks. I did my '72 that way; it required that the line to the right front brake get a little curvature in it to accomodate the longer combination valve needed by the disks. The distribution block you have will need to be replaced with a combination valve or you will need to add a proportioning vale to limit pressure to the rear brakes. Take a look at the tech ref info here and do a search on disk brake conversions for a lot of good info. As for the front brake hose brackets, the disk brake hoses use a thicker bracket. I remember someone saying that Camaro hoses will work with the old brackets , I have not tried that.

Are you going with 4-wheel discs? If so, you can get an adjustable proportioning valve (like Wilwood). I had mine spliced in rear brake line off the master cylinder. Here's a Picture (http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/Alan/Propvalve.jpg) . I haven't braced it to the chassis yet. But I will.

For the brake lines I just bought a set of Fine Lines steel ones for a '71 Chevelle w/4-wheel DRUM. The lines fit perfectly after some slight tweaking. If you have 4-wheel drum this will work as you can continue to use the distribution valve down on the chassis. Existing brackets work as well (at least with the '72 full-size Chevy car front brake hoses I used. Basically a bolt-on operation, expect for getting the adjustable proportioning valve spliced into a brake line where you want it.

Thanks for the help guys.Im running fron disc and rear drum.I guess the best thing to do then is use all my old lines and mount everything then I will know what i need to do with the hoses.So I have to change my distribution block for sure?Thanks again for all the help.

Thanks for the help.Im am tryiing to decide between rightstuff and inline,right stuff is cheaper but Im trying to figure out what the difference is in the kits rightstuff has one for 100.00 stainless front disc conversion brake line kit and inline is 170.00 but I can tell if you get anything else in the kit or not.If anyone knows the difference help me out.thanks

Crowenate,
Don't know 'inline' but bought my conversion lines from 'Rightstuff'. EXCELLENT service and parts. When I was having a problem (couldn't figure out how the new lines were routed) the tech support was super. I really can't recommend them highly enuff! Call them upfront with any questions!
