Since about 80% of your braking is on the front wheels I'm not sure that
converting the rear brakes to disk is worthwhile, especially in terms of
stop/$. One thing I like about the rear drum brakes is that the parking
brake is really good. The parking brake on my 69 164 has never been able
to keep the car from rolling backwards. I've had it for almost 32 years now.
