With staggered shocks like I think the 70s have, I believe you need two left calipers instead of a normal pair. (edit to be more specific: one of the calipers would be turned so that it faced away from the shock - just need to make sure that the bleeder screw is at the top)
Hopefully someone can give a definitive answer though.Last edited by derekf; 02-14-2006 at 05:36 AM.

The Left Side Caliper Is Where I Am Having The Problem. The Left Side Would Be The Drivers Side, And That Is The Side That The Shock Is Hitting The Caliper.

I think you need 2 right hand brackets, I have the LS1 parts but the rear end is sitting on the bench,

Yes, you will need to have two right side brackets to place it away from the shock. I had to do this with LT1 style rears on my 12 bolt. I would presume that c5 is the same, just the caliper body differs etc. It can make running the flex-lines a PITA. Other than that it should work. Rt side bracket should place the caliper on the front side of the rotor. I presume the stager on a 70 is same as a first gen. SS
