Im putting disk brakes on the front of my 66 Riviera. I am using front calipers from a 66-70 Chevelle. My questions are: Will my master cylinder be able to handle this task, or will it run dry when i hit the breaks because of the size difference between the calipers and wheel cyls. What can I do, or do I need to proportion out the breaking to where its not all equal from front to rear. I fabbed up some brackets to mount calipers on my spindles. Also, are there any larger master cylinders, or anything else that I can use that would help? Any info would greatly GREATLY be appreciated. Once I get it all together, ill post pics of everything. Thanks Starr
I believe that you will have to get another master cyliner. They are not that expensive. I just got a new one for my 1970 GS with front discs and it was $29! Now that was with a "firefighter" discount at a local parts store in town. But I believe it was less than $50 for the rest of the world.
Do you, or anyone know which ones are interchangable with the 66 Riviera's? Ill replace the power booster if I have to as well... thx
