   Well, three at least.  I'm a ham, too, and also live in a box canyon. 
Well, it's called  Sleepy Hollow, so I guess you can bet the picture from 
that.  No matter what antenna I use, I get the same results.  HF is sort 
of like living in a big dish pointing at the sky. 
 
   But at least, I do have the whole car.  And a few others, too.  I 
live on 10 Acres, and the fact that the neighbour snooty broad has to 
drive right past my shop and tin stash is all that keeps it down to just 
one parts car per real car.  But that's still a Van, a '64 Impala Wagon 
(hope I never have to trash it!) and a Lincoln.  Oh, yeh, and a '76 
Merc, which is the parts shed for our stock car pieces ('76 Torino 
with 460) 
 
   All this socializing is sure nice, but I'm not getting much closer to 
finding out what magic parts will bolt into the '64 for some disk brakes. 
I was happy to hear about the existence (possible) of trick upper ctl 
arms, which may or may not allow bolting in the '76 Malibu Spindles and 
appurtenances, but other than that, not much help so far.  Anyone? 
 
   BTW, my name isn't really Guest User.  Please allow me to interseduce 
myself.  My name is pete snidal, and I'm the sysop of this board.  I was 
just testing it when I dropped a note into oldcar about the spindles and 
forgot I was being guest user.  Now I'm trapped until I get on my own 
box again.  (Currently setting up a customer box.) 
 
   Nice meeting y'all. I'm very pleased with the response over my original 
query, and hope someone will eventually come by with some specific info. 
Surely there's _some_body out there that's done it.  Till then, I've had 
some helpful hints, though. - Like rip out the proportioning valve before 
I send this hulk to crusherland.  Thanks, almost forgot.  (I _did_ get th 
power brake unit.
