I would like to convert my front drum brakes to disk brakes on my 68 Camaro and need to know what make and model year vehicle that I can get these parts from a salvage yard, and if at all posible what all do I need from the salvalged vehicle for my conversion.
Thank you.

According to the Hollander book, a 67-69 camaro drum brakes, will interchange with the disk brakes of the following cars:

Apollo 73-74
Buick Special 67-72
Chevelle 67-72
Chevy 2 68-74
GMC 71-72 Sprint
Monte Carlo 70-72
Olds F85 67-72
Omega 73-74
Ventura 2 71-74

This will be single piston calipers, instead of the 4 piston used on 67 and some 68 Camaros.

Hope this helps

i just did this to my 68 about 4 months ago,i found it easiest to just order the kit from a reputable dealer (ricks or d&r)to get the complete kit,it gives you upgrades and such,plus the correct proporsioning valve...good luck and its worth it.
