Default 1967 Bonneville Conv Disc Brake Conversion

This car had 4 wheel power drums. The guy put disc brakes on the front, didnt change anything else. When I spin the front wheels they drag, I open one of the front bleeders and they spin free. I need to replace the Master cylinder and Prop valve. The master should be easy everyday part if I know which one to get. I know there is a question about rod depth but I dont know what I have until remove the existing master. So does anyone know of a bolt in Master application? The prop valve I can pick up from NPD 5 miles away, if I know which one to get. They dont list parts for the big cars but they do list a 71-73 GTO prop valve ( 2 different ones, dont know what the difference is in the 2) should work?. What is your experience?

The reason the brakes drag is because the drum brake master is holding them on. It has a valve that keeps a small amount of pressure in the system when the pedal is released. You don't have to disconnect the lines to check the master's depth. Just remove the 2 nuts and pull it away from the booster. If the boosters the same just buy a master for a 1969 Bonn. with disc brakes.
