Do I need a new master cylinder or just a proportioning valve? I have an 87 if that makes a difference.

Ok, any suggestions or recommendations for a master cylinder?

[Captainfab]

The Corvette master cylinder is very popular when converting to 4 wheel disc brakes. The A1 Cardone part number for the '67-'76 rebuilt master is 101423. The number for the '77-'82 rebuilt master is 101749 and a new one is 131749. I don't remember just what the difference is between the '67-'76 and the '77-'82 is. They are both 1.125" bore......I'll have to check on that.

Cool, thanks. Would that apply to any of swaps you have kits for? I read on another post where you compared the costs of all three swaps, so I'm trying to decide which route to go.

Come to think of it, perhaps I should just go all out and do a hydroboost swap as well...

[Captainfab]

Yes, that applies to any 4 wheel disc brake conversion.

Another option for a master cylinder I forgot to mention is, you can also use the Impala SS/Caprice master with those calipers, or a Camaro/Firebird master with the F-body calipers. I don't always think of suggesting those as most guys don't like the looks of the plastic reserviors on those masters.

One thing to note: the '94-96 B-Body (Caprice/Impala SS) setup is very conservative, dang near a 95%-5% split, which is terrible. If you want the rear calipers to come alive with the B-Body master and prop/combo valve setup, you should also consider doing the "stealth bolt" mod (an adjustable prop valve is also an option).

There is also a manual brake version of the early C3 Vette master cylinder for those wanting 4-wheel disc but don't have enough vacuum for a power booster to work properly. If I remember right is has a 1" bore.

I have no idea if Texas requires an e-brake or not. If you have to get a vehicle inspection, more than likely you will have to have an e-brake.

Can anyone tell me how they plumbed these brakes for the rear? Do I have to use the rubber brake hose with the banjo bolt or can I add an adapter of some sort and plumb the hardline directly into the caliper?

Thanks, Steve

[Captainfab]

Some of the older rear disc calipers were plumbed directly with a hard line. I prefer to use a rubber or braided stainless hose from the caliper to the hard line on the axle tube. You can use the one for the Impala with a Metric to SAE adapter.

Texas requires a FUNCTIONAL E-brake on all vehicles so equipped.

[blazins10]

parts are great !!! mounted up no issues at all (: ,

hub size on the impala rotor needs to be opened up to 79.5 mm
great product!!!! thanks

[Captainfab]

Thanks for the compliment

That's strange that you had to open up the center hole of the rotors. I did not have to do that with mine. The typical hub register on a 5 x 5" axle flange is 3.06" or 77.7 mm.

I'd like a set of these as well, can you PM me Payment info?

For anyone needing calipers Fedex just dropped off a pair of remanufactured Kelsey Hayes loaded Impala SS rear calipers, they came with pads and the brackets. They were on closeout for $50 shipped for the pair ($20.08/ea + $10 shipping) on Rockauto. Since they're on closeout to go along with the cheap price there is no core charge. It doesn't say how many they have left. Being able to get the calipers that cheap I think I should be able to get the swap done with zinc coated slotted rotors for around $250.

PM coming your way......

Thanks for the info on the calipers
