Currently has the J50 power drum brakes. Is the master cylinder, booster & p valve the same as what was used on the JL2 front disc brake option ? I do have a complete setup from a 72 monte carlo but if I can use any existing already mounted parts it would save some time and possible headaches as I know my parts are functional.

Thanks,

nope, gotta have it all

spindles, shields, p valves, booster, master cylinder ect...

also check wheel bearings, some had 1 piece rotor/hub assemblies and some had 2 pieces

if they need replacing you can get slotted rotors which may or may not add to braking for the same price as stock replacements
