67-69 Camaro Disc Brakes Conversion

If your going with rear disc you will need one from a 84-87 Pontiac Feiro. Get the brake booster and master cylinder and proportion valve and lines in between them. If going with just front disc and drum rear get the Feiro Booster and then use a 82 S10 master cylinder and proportion valve and lines in between them that had front disc and rear drum. I see these on ebay all the time and have purchased two of them for my cars. The Booster will bolt up to the 67-69 Camaro if you drill two more holes in the bracket. Then you have to cut off the rod end that hooks to the brake pedal. The end is different than the 67-69 Camaro. Once cut off, then tread the end to except the clevis that is on your manual brake rod or Power Booster Brake Rod. You will have to figure out the correct amount by mounting it first. Make sure the pedal is at it normal position. I'm not real sure how much I cut off to make it work. Pretty easy to do. The booster will work just fine.
