    Hello all:
    I am going to get a 1976 4-door this weekend for parts. Unfortunatly I do
    not have room to keep the car so I will have to get what I want and scrap the rest fairly quickly to keep things happy on the home front (I already have five cars crammed into the driveway and garage not including the car trailer). Anyway I have some questions on what to pull. Craig already
    said the windshield would work in my 2-door in an earlier post. What all do I need to pull to do the disk brake conversion. It has power brakes but I do not want that so will I need the master cylinder or will mine work? It has electronic ignition could i use that on mine? will the front fender work on my 1973?
    Thanks
    Cary
    P.S.
    Anybody near Tulsa OK. want the rest of the car?

    For the disc brake conversion, grab the front spindes, the steel front brake lines, and the proportioning valve. You can keep your original master cylinder sine you want to keep manual brakes, you will just have to bend a couple of new lines to go from the master cylinder to the disc brake proportioning valve.

    The ignition depends on the engine. The ignition module will work regardless of what engine you have. The distributor will swap if both cars have the same engine. (You cannot use a 6 cylinder distributor in a V8, or vice-versa.)

    The fender will work fine on your car.

    re:

    Thanks Jamie:
    I was starting to wonder if anybody was going to reply. Both cars are 302's. I just wasn't sure what parts to pull. The ideal situation would be to move the parts from donor to mine but no time right now.
    Thanks again

    i'd hang on to all the v8 swap parts, might be able to make back a few $ on that stuff.
