I've got stock 70 Camaro disks up front, 79 TA disks in the rear and a 68 Vette MC (1-1/8 Piston). The peadal is hard as a rock. Any suggestions? Thanks, in advance.

Steve, Manual brakes...stock 1970 front 11" disks, 1970 TA (stock) 11 rear disks. The MC is a manual brake 1-1/8th piston 68 vette.

1 1/8 piston Master is the problem. That should feel like pushing a brick wall. You need a 7/8 - 1" piston.

I went to the local parts store and had them pull the NAPA PN...I measured the piston at 1-1/8th inch???? Is there a contact that's a sure shot to get the right one?

That is a Napa Part number and info from their site. I got one from them and it was 1" But I had to go to a 1 1/8 for my power set up.

Ive heard Of boxing issues with remaned parts. See if they can get a few and measure them all.
