Rear drum to disc brake upgrade
I currently have disc brakes on the front and drums on the rear and would like to change to discs in the back. I can't seem to find much on how to do that except if I purchase a kit. I also am using a proportioning valve that I assume would be removed if I make the upgrade and I also have power assist brakes.
Does anyone have or know of a link or something that can show me comprehensive directions on what parts I would need, where to get those parts and how to perform this task?
I did see some kits for the rear around $700 to do this but that seems pretty high especially if there are donor cars that I can use???
Thanks as always and being gone to Tucson for 3 1/2 months is making me freeze up here. Nice to be back home and hope to make some shows real soon. Badbird AKA Larry

Sounds quite expensive.
Pat, I was reading on the internet that one of the problems might be that I am not getting enough vacuum at the booster since the engine is a higher performance?
Do you know what the pressure should be at the booster end of the hose? How do I measure that pressure? While the engine is idling? If that is the problem they mentioned adding a vacuum canister? Have you heard of doing that or?? Where/what is that?
Sorry, I haven't a clue about this issue. Thanks
