Hi All.
So I have 2 66's and one is the 500xl veryt with about all the options. The other is a plane Jane 500 fast back. The fast back was "modified" for front disk set up. By modified I mean its all from 76 torino. Everything from the steering box to the control arms. In my reading of the subject from others it seems 77-79 tbird is what I need. Before I go to the junk yard to get these parts from a tbird, will what is on it now work properly. There seems to no positive yes or no on this subject and I have only seen the torinos option come up once as a donor and never again. Previous owner said he ran it like that for years, but I want to be sure it will work before I get new wheels and tires only to find the alignment will never work out.
I already replaces a ball joint on the driver side lower that makes me question if this will work or not. Ball joint was shot before I got the car.
I want it to be safe, inspectable, and fun. So far its fun, maybe inspectable, but safe??
The fast back is a 390 with a toploader 4 speed for what it matters.
Thanks guys.
