i have a question for anyone who can help. I put a disc brake conversion onto my 1966 parisienne by using 1970 impala spindles and i am not sure if the drag link and tie rod set up / lengths are the same, im not sure as to what i should do, leave the 66 set up in it and replace the tie rods or if i have to change the whole drag link set up to the 70 anyone have any advise?? i would apreciate the help..

I wouldn't expect you'd have to do anything more than get an alignment to 66 Parisienne specs.

It's over 30 years since I did that same swap but it seemed to me that the 66 tie rods didn't fit the newer linkage properly. I thought I had to change all the linkage as well.

I swapped 69/70 discs on my 68 with no issues. Perhpas the 65-66 drag link and tie rods may be different??
