Disk Brake set up for 69 dart

I found rear brake drums for my 69 dart... another post.

The guy also had a small bolt pattern disk brake set up from an A body which fits my small pattern rally wheels.
He gave me the upper control arms, knuckles, rotors and the proportion valve
Has 4 piston calipars as well.....
they guy just gave them to me.
he said they were from like a 72 or 73 valiant.

Should I put them on?
What else would I need?

The 4 piston K-H setup was only used thru '71. after that they went to the single piston setup. I think you are going to need the LCA's as well as a different master cylinder.

I mean the guy just gave me the stuff and was pretty sure that the set up could be used as is. I would have no Idea on which lower control arms to get if needed. For free you can't beat it i suppose.
Lots of research needs to be done I guess
thanks for the answer

That stuff for free was a great score! i will have to look up the P/N for the LCA, but i do recall they are different for the disc set-up. Been a while since i had to mess with mine.the spindles are the hardest part to find.

It may or may NOT be a "great score." My understanding is that getting parts for the KH multi piston stuff is getting dear to behold. I converted mine to later, big bolt pattern brakes (73/4) But I hear about guys going to stuff like Scarebird conversions, etc.

What makes this good in addition the guy gave me 2 excellent used
calipers with brake pads attached and he also supplied 2 unused Mopar calipers in the box with brake pads along with an extra set of rotors, This is why I want to use it. That should take me about 60,000 miles no?
I have him checking for the lower control arms

The lower control arms are the same as for drum / disk. I'm not sure about uppers, I believe they are as well. I believe the only change is for newer 73/4 single piston style, which requires different upper arms and ball joints, and different lower joints. LCA are the same.

Differences in LCA is whether or not you have an OEM sway bar, and whether you have the newer K. The sway bar goes INSIDE theK on the newer ones, so the tabs on the LCA's are different, than th e72/ earlier, where the sway goes UNDER the K.

Only other LCA difference that I know of is whether they have been gusseted
