Brake pads

So my 72 was converted to power disc, I believe they did the cheap right stuff kit. Not sure what pads are on there, but it squeals everytime I hit the brake. What pads should I go with to eliminate the noises?

You should use the anti-squeak shims that go between the pads and the caliper. Also, did you cinch the tabs on the ears against the caliper, as directed in the Chassis Service Manual? Did you apply grease to the sliding surfaces between the calipers and the brackets?

I didn't install the kit. It came on the car. She sounds like a semi every time I touch that pedal though. Gonna order some pads as soon as I figure out what's on there and redo everything.
