Default Disc Brake Upgrade

Ok I know disc brakes from a 75 to 80 Granada are the usual ticket for a disc brake upgrade on a 66 Mustang. But what about brakes from a 70 Mustang? I have an opportunity to pick up a set which includes the spindle, will that fit my 66? I don't know if the spindles are the same height for a 66 and a 70!

The 1970 mustang spindles will work on your 66 they are just beefier than what your 66 has...
you may need new outer tie rods and brake lines. other than that should be a pretty easy swap.
