This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

1967 Buick riviera braking issue- Jamco parts

Discussion in 'Classic Buicks' started by Jmawani, May 12, 2023.

    Hi everyone, got my entire set up from Jamco for my brakes to convert to discs. I have a 1967 Buick riviera. Bigger Cam and redone motor-430. Was drums on the back originally and disks on the front.
    Having problems with proper stopping power and have had my mechanic who I trust go over everything and have also looked at it myself.

    Added a vacuum pump for extra stopping power, hasn’t worked. I have proper pressure getting to my breaks but still doesn’t seem to grab properly.



    Has anyone had any issue with these kits?

    I changed the pads over for the front brakes and it seemed to make a difference.



    Below is what I have purchased from jamco. The customer service is very poor and this is why I’ve tried to relay this on a forum for advice.
