1966 Pontiac GTO Disc Brake Conversion, Wheel and Tire Upgrade Video V8TV
This 1966 Pontiac GTO is a beautifully restored car, but the owner wanted to upgrade the braking performance a bit with some new disc brakes. He also wanted the ability to change the look of the car without doing any permanent modifications, so the Goat got a new pair of shoes. Here, the V8 Speed & Resto Shop Crew installs a new power disc brake kit from OPGI and adds a set of 18” Rocket Racing Booster wheels wrapped in Toyo Tires modified by Diamond Back Classics with gold lines. Now, the GTO stops easier and can wear the original Rally 1 wheels or switch to the Rockets for a split personality.
We invite you to contact the V8 Speed and Resto Shop anytime at 314.783.8325 for a Corvette LS Swap or any type of LS Swap in a classic or muscle car.

Great car and subtle update.
I want your voice! It is so soothing. I could listen to you speak all day.
That's not what they say around the shop! Thanks for watching our videos!
Sweet GTO. I like the disc brake conversion
It's a good upgrade, thanks!
Beautiful car. Love the '66.
Many thanks - an excellent and patient description of how to sensitively upgrade yet doing so without spoiling originality.
Thanks Freewheal - the owner can switch at any time.
Love the car I got a couple of 66 Pontiacs I’m building on my channel.
When I ordered my new 1966 GTO, I specified the competition sintered metallic power brakes (no discs available yet). It was necessary to warm up the brake linings when first driving to get the brakes to actually work.
Beautiful Classic GTO.

Thanks CJ!
V8TV You're guys.
Every time I run across your videos I swear I hear Nick Offerman talking. :)
Great looking car nice wheel\tire package good job on the brake upgrade
Thanks Pete!
I like the stock wheels.
NOTHING "stock" about the wheels.
cool on the the disk upgrade but bigger rims look like a dogs shaved buttox walking backwards
I like the stock wheels, the others make it look like a toy store diecast.
Good looking car! I got a 66 GTO I’m building on my channel. Love the car brother!!
Great car.
Thanks.
Nice wheels
Nice
Gorgeous car.
I think I would have looked for modern clones of the rally 1 wheels in 16" diameter for but that's just me. With the right offset you can get a decent amount width under there and still have enough sidewall not impact the ride much.
Neat
jodn Delorian wanted fuel injection and disc brakes on the GTOs. It was Ed Cole from Chevrolet who prevented that from going onto to GTO when they came out, all because he didn't have anything to compete with the GTO. Like your Co worker on your job F'ing up you on your job. What an SOB. How much gas and lives would have those 2 items on the GTO would have saved.
Kevin the machanic didnt clean the film off the rotor? I think it has some kind of protection to keep it from rusting RIGHT ?????
He cleaned it with brake cleaner, and we articulate that step in the video. Like all these projects, it's always important to follow the instructions that come with the parts! Thanks Marvin!
Did the discs work fine w the booster? I have a 66 w 9 inch booster.....im reading it wont provide enough psi to the calipers🤔🤔🤔 thx tomk ret fdny
It's important to match the bore diameter of the master cylinder with the booster. Another great option is a hydraulic booster, we've installed many of those and they always produce more than enough pressure.
@@V8TV awesime thanks
would have been perfect if the 18' tires had the red stripe instead of gold
The stripes are available in nearly every color from www.dbclasscitires.com - you can pick your favorite!
i own same car frame off resto 4 speed tri power i love it and need it
Cool!
how do i find this brake kit? i have a 66 with original 14s also.
Does anybody know where to get that calibre Mount bracket
Awe, can't you put like 38" rims with some serpentine belt tires? I mean fuck it up good. Nice goat, love ponchos from the 60's.
We'll try to find some 38"s for you for the next episode. Chrome or in a color? 😃
64 GTO was 203 inched 65 GTO was 206.1 inches. The 66 was 206.4 in so it didn't grow more than .3 inches over the 65.
Do you ever consider people build their cars to their liking?
@@SD70ACE- yep, some people have bad taste. Wheels can make or break your ride,
@@archiebunker6059 I agree but it's their build ,their vision and hard work
I would have installed power brakes., and kept it stock
Did it push the wheel out any?
Wheels are way to big!!!!................
No No, those wheels look terrible.
Very nice car.... until the sissy wheels cam on!
The wheels ruin the car.
Looks ghetto
Beautiful car, clown car wheels. Shame.
