Default 1967 disc brake identification.

The car already had manual front disc brakes when I bought it, but was an I6 car according to the Vin.

How can I tell what "kit" was used for the conversion? Lets say I want to order new bushings, or tie rod ends, or other parts like brake calipers, lines, pads etc.

Same with the springs. Any way to tell if they are the stock I6 springs or V8 swap, or even aftermarkets??

Thank you all

I would and will as soon as I can, but there are locks on the wheels and I do not have a key! I need to get a large easy out or something!

Most tire shops have wheel lock removal tools handy and can pull your wheel locks off. Sometimes they'll charge you $10 or something for the effort.

Option 2) get a cheap socket of the proper size to hammer onto the lock, then wrench it off.

Just turn the wheels, crawl under and take the photos of the backsides. That'll do.
