I have got a 69 dart all drum no power brakes, the setup seems to work okay but i live in Los Angeles and needing to stop quick is important. also its my wifes car. what are my chances of robbing a booster and mc off a diplomat, there seems to be a surplus of these at the junker, are they a-body also? has anyone givin this a try. would the discs fit as well?

FYI: a diplomat is an M body car.

Hope that gets you started, but I don't know the details for the booster. The biggest concern is mounting.
