Disc Brake Conversion 1970 Stang
So I just bought a manual disc brake conversion kit from Summit for my 70 stang. I obviously didnt do enough research on here like I should have... Came with absolutely no instructions at all. I am looking to get this done this week. Weather is nice and car runs for the first time in a year.... Any help?

That is the kit that I bought from Summit. Go figure I just found someone on craigslist wrecked his 70 and has the whole kit for power brakes for 600... Oh well though. I just want to get my kit on. He said he would sell the pedal, brake booster, prop valve, and master cylinder for 300 to me. So any help on instructions?? Please??

Looks like the OE '67 KH-style discs. Go over to CSRP and look at his instructions for that kit. It's essentially all bolt-on, aside from having to fab up new front lines.
One thing you do need that's not included in the kit is a proportioning valve. You can get an adjustable inline unit from Summit, or you can pick up an OE-style brass combo valve from CSRP.

Do you think I should get the brake booster, master cylinder, prop valve and pedal for 300? All in all total what i would pay is less then 1k so that should be a good deal for me I think? Changed the rear shocks today, that was interesting. Air shocks suck.. Will be starting the disc brake conversion tomorrow or Wed.
If you get an adjustable pushrod from CSRP, you shouldn't need a new pedal. I think what you have is fine, although it would've been cheaper (and more complete) had you bought it from CSRP. But unless you want to return the stuff you have to Summit, your best bet is to pick up a prop valve and adjustable pushrod from CSRP and bolt everything up.
