hey Chad, welcome to the 99 world. You might find it hard to locate fuel injection components for it, but ebay has been a decent source for some spares over the last few years for me. Parts cars also show up from time to time. I've been running the same d-jet set up on my current 73 since around 1986(all parts for it came from my 74). Some say it's not dependable, but I've had good luck with it.
Calipers are known to seize if the car isn't driven and sits for years. Re-build kits are still available for the fronts, but the rears are really hard to come by. You might see them listed on Ebay, but pre 74 rear calipers are not the same as those that came on 76 and up 99's or 900's. So be cautious on how the kits are listed. Master cylinders are also still available. Chip Lamb of West of Sweden Saab is also helpful in locating parts for the older 99's and he stocks a bunch of parts also.
Click on my name and send me an e-mail if you need any help. I'm currently coaching Saabpilot(BrianK) on a possible 99T purchase....another Columbus Saab addict.
Also do a google search for Bosch d-jetronic injection. There are some really good sites on the net for troubleshooting and they explain how the system works.
