Hi Scott,

I pulled the front disk brakes off a 74 Dart also and found that I only 
used the spindles, backing plate and the proportioning valve.  The other 
parts (rotors, bearings, calipers, brake hoses and master cylinder) were 
bought new.

If the parts are in really good shape, then you can reuse them.  

My car does not have power brakes and was therefore an easy swap.  THe 
power brake assembly on the Dart was different from my 64 Dodge.  If you 
have power brakes on your car use the original booster with a new master 
cylinder.

$80 to $100 is likely a good place to start.  I paid $80 Canadian ($60 
US) but only used a portion of the parts I bought.  I think the master 
cylinder was used only as a core.

Keep us posted.

K.
