Jay just a note after talking to Buffalo....his kits are not for a 40 car... Just trucks. He stated there are no kits for 6 lug. So if you go 5 lug conv kits...different wheels. Decision time or stay with front drums... Larry

I have decided to add the dual master cylinder from Filling Station and keep the drums all around. I didnt know there was that offering. After a detailed talk with them it seems that with a standard HP 216cid that with new wheel cylinders shoes lines etc that the dual master is a good way to go and preserves your stock wheels as well. You send them your MC. I look forward to this mod. Larry
