Headlight wiring diagram needed.

Need parts list for rear disc brake conversion
(Preview)
Hi, can any one give me a list of the parts they used to do a brake conversion in a 83-88 Monte using stock parts? I've read to use Caddy calipers w/ebrake and an aftermarket bracket. But what about the master cylinder, proportioning valve and hoses/lines? Thanks much.
