I did not use the granada swap. Here is what I used along with a bracket from this guy -->Marc Janis - (425) 672-0377 By the way, the entire upgrade to disk brakes cost me under $600 with this setup and that's with the power brake booster!!

Front Disc brake conversion instructions
1. Crack front wheel nuts loose, chock up rear wheels.
2. Jack up front end of car, support crossmember with jackstands.
3. Remove front wheels, drum/hub assembly.
4. Take drum/hub assembly to a competent machinist and remove drum by using a swedge cutter on the studs. Machine outer edge of hub flange to fit inside rotor with about 0.020†fit. Clean off wheel surface and register with wire wheel. If you have the two piece drum, you will need to get a set from Summit or another aftermarket supplier.
5. Disconnect brake flexible line at frame by unscrewing hardline nut, then removing clip. Undo drum backing plate nuts and remove drum backing plate and all drum hardware in one assembly. Clean off spindle assembly
6. Place adapter plate over spindle with caliper bolt retaining nuts facing inward, and caliper opening to the rear. Tighten nuts.
7. Clean and repack wheel bearings. Install new seal. Install centering ring onto hub. Assemble hub onto spindle, tighten outer nut to spec, then secure with keeper, new cotter pin and dustcap.
8. Drill out rotor stud holes to 5/8†diameter if nessessary. Chamfer hole edges to prevent cracks.
9. Place rotor onto hub, and run two or three lugnuts down finger tight to retain rotor. Wipe down rotor with alcohol, laquer thinner or other cleaner to remove grease and oils.
10. Wash hands! Rotor must be squeaky clean
11. We modified the brake hose port so that the hose would face toward the rear center of the car. This can be done with a hacksaw and file, though a cutoff wheel works nice too, Lay out the hose and mark the caliper, then carefully cut the sides down. Using a pair of vise-grips, snap off inner piece and clean up with a file. Install new rubber slider rings and steels bushings into caliper. Assemble pads into caliper, and slide assembly into caliper bracket, lube with silicone grease then screw in new slide pins, tighten to 35 foot-pounds. Check fitment and rotate rotor to check clearance.
12. I used 1979-85 Cadillac Eldorado front hydraulic hoses, which are 17â€. Use a piece of to find the optimal length for your application. Install hose with new copper crush washers.
13. Master cylinder and proportioning valve specs are quite varied. I would recommend 19767-70 Mustang or simular disc master cylinder for best performance match available in both power and manual flavors. Some have used the original single master cylinder with success, though this is not recommended. Try with original junction block first. If rears lock up excessively, install an adjustable proportioning valve in the line going to the rear.
14. Bench bleed disc master cylinder, mount on car, then gravity bleed entire system first, then pump bleed and test.
