Which Master Cylinder for my manual disc setup

[Brandon]

What Master cylinder to use for my application (I have a '69 Camaro)?




I will be using stock 11" front disc that I got from a '70 Nova.

I have a rear disc brake setup from a 4th Gen Camaro (2 right hand sides).

Will also add a rear adj. proportioning valve.

I will not be using a power booster - I hope the manual brakes will be fine.

This will be a fun street car, not looking for an autocross or track car.

Anyone have an idea for a master cylinder? Will a stock 7/8" or 1" manual from a '68-'74 vette work?

I would like to use the c4 front disc upgrade but I don't believe that my 15x8 rally wheels would fit.

I'm not sure if the 70 Nova and the 70 Camaro used the same front calipers or not, but if they do I am running the stock 70 Front Disks on my Camaro with 95 Z28 rear disks and I am using the 1968-1976 Corvette manual four-wheel disc-brake master cylinder with good results..I am very happy with them

Just make sure the lines are going from the correct ports on the Master to the correct end of the car...I had them backwards first and the car would not stop at all

Does that mean that you had to connect the rear reservoir (of the master cylinder) to the front discs and the front reservoir to the rear brakes? I have heard of ths before.

How do I know which way to connect my system using a 1968-1976 Corvette manual four-wheel disc-brake master cylinder?

For some reason I had heard front to rear, rear to front too, but that did not work. The pedal would go to the floor and I would still be rolling.
I put them front to front, and rear to rear, and without even bleeding the air I got in the lines from swapping them I had a good pedal.
After bleeding them I am very happy now.
