91 RS conversion to rear discs on a 9 bolt swap....question?
I scored a 9 bolt 3.27 posi diff with all the goodies (calipers-brackets-pads-lines-parking brake) for 75.00. I am taking it and putting it in place of my stock RS 2.73 one wheel wonder.
My question is, and I am am getting conflicting info on the parking brake cables....will the ones in the RS bolt up to the 9 bolt? I believe I may have to get a prop valve for the discs to work at their best, and the parking brake cables IF they fit will require some tweaking to work properly.
Any input?
Thank you!

Which disks? Delco or PBR? If you currently have drums the cables are different. The Delco brakes have different length cables the PBR are the same length. You may need the intermediate park brake cable too.

I intended to switch it out and adjust the cable before I put the driveshaft in. What prop valve did you use? Thank you!

I used the same one that was in the car as the rear end. I am finishing everything up on friday. I will keep you posted on anything special I do.
