take the master cylinder and brake booster off of the 73 and put it on the 70. i think that you have to fab something up to make that work. im not totaly sure about that but im sure that some one will chime in about it.

You will need the master cylinder to make the disc brakes work because they require more volume than the shoe master. Use the 73 booster and work off this thread in the FAQs.
