Looking for front disc brake setup for 1969 Pontiac Tempest. Currently 4 manual drum brake car. Prefer 12" or 13" rotor.

Don't know your budget, or what. Talk to Matt or Kim, at Matts Classic Bowties. He's a sponsor here and they're good people to do business with. I believe they have everything from lower priced items to the expensive ones. Give them a call and they'll help you out figuring out what you need.

Will call tmw.

Your wheel size will determine which size rotor you can run.

If you want to DIY the conversion, you can run C5 Corvette brakes on your drum spindles with brackets from Kore3. You can even use your drum hubs if you turn down the outside diameter a little. I had to run 18" wheels to clear the Vette calipers.
Here are some pics of my stuff (I'm using Kore3 aluminum hubs to reduce un-sprung weight).
HTH, Rodney.

Thanks for info, car has 18" wheels so definitely a great option. Did you go manual or power brakes ?. Is there a comprehensive list of what I will need ? Will Google and check too.

Man those rims are sweet! Can provide some specs on them: brand, size, offset/BS? Thanks!
