Converted using the factory '73-up, BBP brakes & suspension. Used the pin-mount calipers & adapters from a '75 or '76 Charger Daytona, brake hoses for an '80 Aspen and put the 12" rotors from the last of the B & R-bodies on my Valiant. I can only imagine that this brakes even better
Love your channel. I have a 66 Goat that I want to upgrade to power brake rotors etc. There are several sites on eBay that have complete front and rear conversion. The rear brakes say need " need machined to fit". Which means axles need to come out. Correct? Keep up the good work. Thanks Craig
Since this is a 64-72 A body, why wouldn't a person be able to go to a salvage yard and pull spindles off a disc brake version and install them on a 65 skylark? Thanks in advance
I did this upgrade on my 70 Monte, did ur factory master work fine? Cause now all I have is basically the rear drums doing the work and the fronts do not grab as they should? Have bled the system many times. No air.
Ynot racing You need to make sure your master cylinder is set up for Disc/drum if that’s what you’re running. My car originally had drum/drum. I converted the fronts to disc without changing the master and ran into the same problem as you’re describing. You’ll need to make sure your master is setup for your combination. I ended up switching mine out for a wilwood that has an adjustable proportioning valve.
so the front kit is from cpp that uses c5 corvette style calipers and the rears a pirate jack kit that uses a 79 el dorado style caliper so when doing a brake change are you asking the auto parts store guys for a pair of c5 brake pads and a pair of 79 el dorado pads to do a complete change or are you ordering the pads from each vendor from the kits?
Should work just fine. I’m running a hydro boost setup as well. And if you already have discs in the front, you shouldn’t have to change your proportioning valve or master cylinder.
Not sure. But if you go on Classicperformance.com, they have kits for 64 impalas. Unfortunately their web site doesn’t have photos for every kit, so it’s sometimes hard to know what your buying.

Do you have a part number for this kit?

Will this also work with the brembo brake conversion
What size wheels are needed to clear caliper & rotor
@@larryfontana9207 17 inch.
What's the part # for this kit?
Add a second washer?
What size air bag did you use in your front end setup? Been thinking of bagging my 69 chevelle but want to see what works best.
This video shows how I bagged the front end. Hope it helps. ruclips.net/video/v9dmey_W39o/видео.html
@Average Dad’s Garage Hey thanks for that appreciate it
works with a model 74?
Would this work with a hydroboost set up I have disc In front and drums in rear
Should work just fine. I’m running a hydro boost setup as well. And if you already have discs in the front, you shouldn’t have to change your proportioning valve or master cylinder.
How much was the hole kit and was it complete bolt on from beginning to end
The only thing it doesn’t come with is the steering arm, which I simply just saved from my old factory setup. Check www.classicperform.com for price.
What control arms are you using ? Thank You
They were cheap, no name control arms I found on eBay.
Is it still same bultpattern ?
PreGame Yes.
By chance have a link to the hubs and studs ?
The hubs I bought from www.classicperform.com. The studs I bought from a local auto parts store.
@@averagedadsgarage happen to remember the length?
No. I remember they only had one length, which was longer than I needed, so I had to cut them down a bit because my lug nuts are capped on the ends.
Can I get this for my 64 Impala???
Not sure. But if you go on Classicperformance.com, they have kits for 64 impalas. Unfortunately their web site doesn’t have photos for every kit, so it’s sometimes hard to know what your buying.
What Brand brake kit is it that you went with ?

Did anyone notice that the bleeder has to be facing up not down
Most people probably noticed there’s two bleeders. Same caliper can be used both sides.
@@averagedadsgarage Oh ok didn't see 2 bleeders
How is it performing so far? Any update?
So far they’re working great. Just waiting for the local tracks to open up so I can really put them to work.
is the spindle drum or disk?
Disc.
Hey Speedy C. What was your backspacing?
a trick : you can watch series on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching loads of movies lately.
@Judson Francis Yup, been watching on Flixzone for since december myself :)
@Judson Francis definitely, been using flixzone for since december myself :D
Do you have to change your wheel size?
Requires a 17" rim or larger to clear the brakes.
I got excited when I started watching this...until I saw the price.
Come out to be turned. I mean. Thanks
Part number?
