    I've found some for skylarks but I was checking out the
    CPP website and it sounds good but I need to make sure first.
    I've bought all new front end handling parts from Spohn and QA1
    Now I need to remove the drumbreaks.
    Please advice the young and dumb lol thanks:idea2:

    Yes, it'll fit. The disk brake kits are the same for 64-72 cars.
    Brake lines are a little different on 64-66 since they used the single-cylinder master cylinder.

    Ahhh now I see, thanks I appreciate it. Should be good then since I have no brake lines ahaha.
    I'm limited in sources as to "people who know what they're talking about" this is helpful to me. Thanks wkillgs:pray::pray:

    You're welcome!
    I went with a system from 'The Right Stuff', about $600 with master cylinder, power booster, and distribution block/proportioning valve. The brake lines would be extra, but I made my own.
    Do you need to replace the front and front-to rear brake lines?

    I mentioned the front-to-rear brake line because the 64-66 used a smaller 3/16" line..... and 1967 was increased to 1/4".
    Just something to be aware of when installing or buying lines, distribution blocks, and rear brake hoses. You can buy adapters to go from one size to the other if necessary.

    For a Skylark, make sure you don't order lines for a GS since the GS uses a convertible frame and needs a different front-rear line.

    The disc brake kits are offered by many vendors, so shop around!

    Thanks Walt, you most likely saved me a future headache and creation of a future question.
    I'm sure I'd have many more questions. I appreciate it man.:beers2:
