Sir u are the MAN most definitely not a idiot..ur teaching as well as still humble enough to learn,and even say if u messed up..but let me get to work. Can’t wait to finish watching this video 🦾🫡
I bought a 85 elco a yr ago and been scared to death to work on it because I don’t know wtf I’m doing 😂 you’re definitely motivating me to pull it in the garage and start taking it apart. ✊🏾
Dont give regret it bro its all a part of it trial an error i changed my disc out wit the caliper kit from jegs for the gbody. Changed master cylinder and proportioning valve no rear brakes wouldn work at all discouraged me for a over a year. Car sat on jack stands in the garahe became a table last week i changed the master cylinder out to a factory gbody from orielly rear brake work again but i need to bleed them some more i think i may have air in the lines somewhere still
Hey PENNYLS1 i finally got my front suspension in!! Got viking coilovers with autocross valving 2-3" drop. Spohns a arns (fuk them a arms man!!!) Umi sway bar, umi front frame brace blazer spindles/c5 kore3 with dba rotors. Got my suspension parts, calipers, coiliver springs all dont with blue candy over chrome powdercoat...now i can get my rear started...just got my quick performance 9inch rear in but the messed up my order....ugh.
Yes I put a disc to disc prop valve on. I figured it out, the calipers are seized. I took them off and the piston would not retract as it should. I had to force them in using a c clamp.
So why the title? You're not happy with the outcome of the conversion? Mine is making the exact same clicking noise from the proportioning valve and I still have to do the parking brake also but the brakes are working great
If I had to do it over I probably would just go with a Wilwood big brake kit. But I wanted to have all factory parts that I could get from a local parts store anywhere without having to have shipped. Yeah I was wondering where that clicking sound was coming from. Just a long process and I just ready to drive and enjoy it now.
I feel that. I've been working on mine 8 months. I built the engine and I've never built anything like that myself (but it runs great) so it's been a looooong process. Since then I've rebuilt the front end, did the front Blazer brake conversion, been following you on doing the rear, got it done the other day and today I've almost finished installing two power seats from a 2012 Equinox.. and in all the 8 months since building the engine (a 355 4 bolt main from a 72 C10) I've put exactly 198 miles on it 😂 ... so I'm ready to stop mechanicing and enjoy mine also. Once I get the seat brackets finished I'm going to change the carpet, put the seats back in and take a break on it. I've got to get a center console and I want to do a dash swap but I think I'm going to just drive it for a few months first ... Man it has been a journey of learning I tell you.. I've also got a 77 Cutlass Supreme with T-Tops that I might do the LS swap on but not sure when ... Anyhow ... You're videos have been a great help to me so keep it up bro.
I just ordered some caliper rebuild kits and new pistons. I’ll do this before I buy new calipers. I may go ahead and replace the rubber over axle hose while I’m at it.

Great job man, I appreciate you always thinking Safety first! Double checking your work etc. Hope others are paying attention 😉

Just take your time and learn as you go.
Keep on making videos...I watch all of them. They help me out a lot. And don't worry about messing up, it's all a learning process.
Dude, love your videos. Don't worry about messing up. I've been working on cars for 50 years and you are doing alright.
I appreciate that 💪🏾
I know the feeling.. I felt like I changed the world when I redid my gbodys entire braking system
It's coming along nicely
LS in every project there's hiccups cant wait to see a video of it on the road!
Great video
Thats the vent tube for rear end fill plug is on the side
Facts. I had to scrape some of the gunk off the rear end to see the fill plug. Smh
Dont give regret it bro its all a part of it trial an error i changed my disc out wit the caliper kit from jegs for the gbody.

I’m a keep my head up and keep moving forward 💪🏾
Nice work👍🏿👌🏿

You don't have to put thread sealer on the fill plug. It's a pipe thread so it seals it self
Thanks for the info.
What brake booster and reservoir did u use?
Stock booster. I was using a Wilwood master cylinder but switched back to the stock one and got them working.
I HAVE SAME SETUP GREAT NOT ONE PROMBLEM CHECK CALIPERS WON'T IF NOT A MOVE GEAR BECAUSE LSD
Did you change the brake distribution block to a disc brake from drum brake they are different
Yes I put a disc to disc prop valve on. I figured it out, the calipers are seized. I took them off and the piston would not retract as it should. I had to force them in using a c clamp.

Have you figured it out yet my man
I just ordered some caliper rebuild kits and new pistons. I’ll do this before I buy new calipers. I may go ahead and replace the rubber over axle hose while I’m at it.
What belt accessory set up did you use?
I went with the Holley high mount setup.
👍🏾✊🏾
Dont loctite those bolts
Thanks but it’s too late now. I used the blue tho 🤷🏾♂️
@@PENNYLS1you can use a soldering iron to heat the bolt and break the loctite bond if you ever had to take them off. No biggie.
