I'm not sure if I understandd what your saying here, but if you go with disks you'll have o get a disk mater cylinder and you can use your current booster, you will also have to change the equilizer valve as well for disk brakes. I think that is what your asking??

Since the calipers use more fluid, (they are larger) than the drum wheel cylinders in front, I would suspect that you will have uneven breaking. The disc brake master cylinder will push more fluid to the front than the drum master cylinder.
Also, I am not sure what would happen if you use the 68 distribution valve with the disc master cylinder. If it were me, I would keep disc components with disc components. Jim |
