No I kept the 3.08 gears, now she rolls at 75 no problem and still gets 20+ miles per gallon

Thank you. They are late 60's Camaro and Nova copo caps. Got them off Ebay for like $45

shawno72 · 02-15-2013, 07:51 PM

Hey guys I need a little advice. I have everything to go ahead and do the front disc brake upgrade but the hard lines. I know about this kit from POL

https://www.performanceonline.com/19...RE-BENT-18377/

My question is, has anyone used this kit and will it work fine with my Corvette style master cylinder and CPP prop valve?

Those lines will be bent just like stock.
The two likes going up to the prop valve will be different.
You will probably have to bend up some new lines there.
(or modify the stock lines)

If your existing lines are ok,... I would just bend up what you need.

shawno72 · 02-15-2013, 08:46 PM

Thanks Keith, I may just add to what I have cause my existing lines are in good shape. But on the website it does say

These 1963-70 Chevy and GMC truck disc brake conversion lines are designed to work with our manual master cylinder & prop valve kit or our Power brake booster kits, making your installation easy!

I have the exact setup as their Power brake booster kit so it should be a direct fit?

**Ol Blue K20** · 02-15-2013, 09:21 PM

yes, it looks good with white. Don't know on thebrake line question

Just saw you changed back to the white wheels, looks much better in my opinion
