This kit is for GM F & X-Body cars converting to disc
brakes. This is the industry standard conversion kit. The kit features 11 Delco
just like the factory, a brass disc / drum
proportioning valve mounted on a bracket that hangs off the stud of the booster.
This keeps the valve away from exhaust heat. Hard brake lines are provided from
the master cylinder to the proportioning valve. The lower kit features the later
single piston caliper that proved to be a problem free caliper. The spindle,
backing plate and caliper bracket are all stock components so your 14" rims and
tires will clear the caliper. This kit comes complete with every thing
you will need to put disc brakes on your classic. Various upgrades are also
listed below.
We have set the industry standard on disc brake conversions kits -
while others give you generic parts we supply the factory correct stuff at no
extra charge. Others have a smooth generic booster and master - ours is a delco
booster and bleeder master cylinder. Others say they offer a kit for 14"
wheels until the parts rub on the rims - Our kits work with 14" wheels.
Others say you get all the parts until you go to put it on the car and are
missing the valve, hoses or hardware - We do provide all the parts. Others have
trade names or company logos largely stamped all over the parts - Our parts are
just like the factory, neat and clean.
Complete Inline Tube Standard Kit Includes (all new parts): Rotors, Backing
Plates, Spindles, Calipers and Pads, Caliper Brackets, 11" Delco Style
Booster with master pin and clevis, Correct Bleeder Master
Cylinder, Brass Disc / Drum Valve / Bracket & Master Cylinder Lines, Brake Hoses
/ Banjo Bolts & Crush Washers, Bearings / Seals & Dust Caps , And all the Miscellaneous Hardware
with Installation Instructions - Everything you see above.
These are all brand new parts!
1967 was the
first year for disc brakes but they used dual piston calipers. 1968 was the last
year of the dual piston caliper. 1969-74 all used the improved design single
piston caliper. All disc brake conversions use the improved single piston
caliper. All cars before 1967 had no proportioning valve, just a distribution
block on the frame. 1967 factory disc brake cars also had a distribution block
but it worked in conjunction with a barrel-shaped hold valve that hung off the
stud of the master cylinder making this a two part valve. In 1971, a new one
piece improved design was implemented and this valve was not succeeded until
1986. This new style disc drum valve is what is included in the conversion
kits.
This disc brake conversion will fit all the 67-69 GM F-Body
cars & 68-74 GM X-Body cars. This includes: 67-69 Camaro/Firebird and
68-74 Nova, Ventura, Omega, Apollo.
