I have a 69 Camaro w/ Wilwood Dynalite Kit 12.19"
Wilwood M/C 1 1/8 Bore
Dual diaphram Booster
4 piston calipers front & back

Does anyone have a setup diagram?
Do I need a adj. Proportioning Valve?
If so, do I remove the original GM anti-Skid valve?
Is the distribution block necessary?


Please Help
Thank You
John

Here's a link to the Wilwood instructions for the front brakes.

I recommend the adj. prop.
I recommend getting rid of the skid device.
Distribution block is not necessary. But, your in-dash brake warning light won't work w/o it.

John,

The car looks great. I can tell you from experience that you will be cussing at the March power steering setup. Double check the alignment to make sure the crank and power steering pulleys are in line as well as square. The lack of a rear bracket on the March setup causes the pulley to get misaligned when the belt is tightened. Ask me how I know...

For the brakes I would run the stock distribution block and plumb an adjustable prop valve in teh rear line.

Hi Andrew

Thanks for the info on the brakes. I have had more than one problem w/ the March Performance setup.
It's all good now.
The car has started & the alignment is now perfect.

Thanks again
John
