1964 - 1967 Chevelle GM A-Body Wilwood Front Disc Brake Install 

Glad you liked it!

Good note!

Also will stock suspension work with this kit or did you have to Frankenstein a bunch of pieces together?

The suspension kit is from UMI. It is their GM A-body Stage 2 kit. Summit sells the spindles.

Yes, stock suspension will work with this kit.

Yes we did run a shim, but it didn't change the brake bad mounting

Calipers have bleeders on both ends, so they can be installed in either configuration. The brackets are in the correct orientation. Check the assembly instructions here: www.wilwood.com/BrakeKits/BrakeKitsProdFront?itemno=140-10996-DR

Calipers should be on back side of spindle. Firewall side, not tie rod side

@@gaslightapparel2443 direct from wilwood's manual: "*NOTE: Some applications for this kit have the steering arm to the rear of the spindle and others to the front. Also, some applications have room to mount the bracket and caliper on the steering arm side of the spindle while the steering arm may interfere in other applications. The brackets in this kit may be mounted on either the front or rear side of the spindle."

A little play shouldn't be an issue, as long as it isn't excessive

@midatlanticcustoms ok thanks I was a little worried

@@midatlanticcustoms great video very detailed that helps alot

This is definitely the front set. Wilwood produces these so you can mount them on either side of the spindle, depending on your set-up. We just mounted them on the fwd side vs the rear.

@@midatlanticcustoms thanks for the quick response! I'm helping a friend, just got the instructions, had him send me links to what he ordered so i can sort rear from front. noticed the front has smaller pads but four pistons but the rear has unusually larger pads with only 2 pistons.

Yeah, I would double check part #s. Wilwood makes lots of different variations of these, and it's easy to mix them up!

Details on disc brake kit: www.wilwood.com/brakekits/BrakeKitsProdFront?itemno=140-10996-DR We're using wilwood's master cylinder with this kit. You can check them out on their website above.

Same studs

Thanks! Nope, did not have to cut the spindles

Thanks! Nope, this is factory style spindle and no modifications required. Just can't run anything smaller than 15" wheel with this set-up. Some 14" may work.

Things that you won't be servicing regularly (wheel hub adapter brackets, spindle bolt nuts, etc) you can use the red loc-tite. The other serviceable items (caliper bolts) it's best to use blue loc-tite. Hope this helps.

All man thanks for the quick response that helps alot been watching your video step by step and it's helping alot yours is the best I've seen on RU-vid that even i can understand appreciate it👍

@@dewaynemitchell3931 thank you for the support, and glad the videos are helping! The feedback is greatly appreciated

​@@midatlanticcustomsgot another quick question if you can help on the black rotors it's an arrow on each of them if you're facing them one would be going clockwise and the other counter clockwise so would the clockwise arrow go on the passenger side rotor and the counter clockwise go on the driver's side right

@@dewaynemitchell3931 yes, that would make sense. I've seen different companies set it up in different ways. What is the part # for the kit you are installing ?

The Wilwood Part # for the kit is: 140-10996-DR

Summit has them: www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-ck1000-1/make/chevrolet/model/chevelle/year/1967

Thanks

Can't wait to see the car love the chevy have 70 grand prix in process of restoration of it

Don't have it handy, but hopefully you got it figured out

Yup I got it thanks

Direct from wilwood's manual: "The brackets in this kit may be mounted on either the front or rear side of the spindle."

We replaced the spindle before we installed this kit. The OEM spindle had a large amount of wear at the bearing interface.
