I just bought a 69 X33 car and it has rear disc brakes. I know it is not a JL8 car..I am just trying to figure out what these calipers are from.

What's the back look like? Are the rotors 11" or a little over 10" in dia. How wide is the opening in the backing plates where the calipers sit, 5 1/4" or 3 3/6"? Does it have a solid backing plate that covers the whole back of the rotor? Are both brakes in the front of the axle, or are they staggered, one to the front, one to the rear? Might be 79-81 Cadillac Seville, El-Dorado Toronado (both on one side), or late 2nd gen (79-81)Firebird/Trans-Am brakes(staggered front and back).

Van, yeah, they do look like the T/A staggered brakes on this 69 Camaro.

(Had been sitting for 5 years)

I hadn't noticed at first but they are staggered..driver side to the front, pass side to the rear...thanks for the info guys , I was just curious.
Next question is that the parking brake set up is missing..any idea what I need? I see the example in the picture looks like the PB is intact.
