Will 70 granada spindles work on my car

David Fulford · 08-09-2001, 02:47 PM

My car has an "L" in the VIN number which should mean it had the I6 in it at one time.
It now has a 302 and 5 lug drum brakes all the way around. Being that it is now 5 lug, are the ball joints and tie rod ends going to match right up to the granada spindles to do a disc. brake conversion. Also my car already has the dual master cylinder and distribution block. Do I really need a proportioning valve also. Thanks for the help.

OK nevermind. From what I can gather, on the 69s the I6 and V8 cars had the same tie rod ends and ball joints.(except for the boss models) So I'm gonna go for it with the granada brake swap.
