What late model booster m/c fits a 1st gen Camaro?

[69MyWay]

Hey guys, for my 69 Camaro with C5 front brakes and 2001 F body rear brakes, I need to know what late model Master Cylinder and Brake booster is the most direct fit to the stock 69 pedal....AND,

What else is needed to connect it?

If you guys remember, I hid a non-power master cylinder in the side cowl of my 69 to have the ultra flush firewall.

Well...I am going to be driving the car a lot more in the future as a daily driver situation and need more brake assist.

PLEASE - part numbers, fitting issues...etc, would be Very helpful.

Hey guys...I'm going to venture out on a limb.

I found a place selling GTO boosters and m/c for $35 plus $20 S&H.

I have one coming.

It has a different look than the typical C5/6 or 4th gen F body unit.

We'll see if it works. If not, I talked to Frank at Prodigy and will just get one of his stainless units, then scotch bright it up to get the bling down to a machine looking finish and set that up on the car.

Post a pic when you get it, I'm curious what it looks like.

The booster will be here this week.

I also have a 4th gen Camaro one coming so I can compare/contrast.

I see there isn't much room between the engine and booster - thus the need for the small diameter.

We will see.

I am defintely interested in hearing how this turns out.

Remove the brackets from the back of a first gen booster. With minor modifications they will fit on a late g-body (regal monte cutlass etc) 9" booster

I got the GTO booster and took a close look at it last night.

It is just under 10" in diameter - putting it DARN close to the engine - but because my LS1 sits a bit further forward (BPR mounts) - it looks like it will clear. HOWEVER, I am not yet sure how it will mount.

The 4th gen F body booster will be on its way to me. Since the car still works as it, I am going to wait until I have both boosters in hand before I tear it down.

Believe it or not, I have to pull the hood and the left fender to do this since my current master cylinder is tucked up under the cowl. That will give me plenty of room to work though and make sure this bad boy is factory correct.


"IF" I can't get either of these to work, I love the idea of using a stock bracket on a G body booster per Efi69Cam.

Right now I don't have a stock 69 booster though, so I'd have to do some digging.

Is there something on the way at you cant use DSE booster ? That should work with LSx ??

Yes, - they are out of stock and don't know when they will be re-stocked.

Their booster looks like a C5 with an adapter bracket - but I'm not 100% sure.

Pics coming soon....

YES!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a happy hot rodder at the moment.

I was able to install the GTO unit. It went very smooth.

Basically I cut 2" out of the input rod. I drilled two extra holes in the firewall and put a 2" diameter hole dead middle between the two stock lower brake bracket holes.

The GTO unit slid in and I used the stock 9 pin and clip to hook it to the pedal in the power position.

The lines were a snap. I got some 10 & 12 mm conversion pieces to go to 3/16" and 1/4" to hook to the distribution block.

The car stops like a brand new Vette (has 13" Vette rotors on front and 12" 4th gen F body rear discs)/

PLUS - this booster fits up nice and flush to the firewall. It is a 10" diameter and has a short m/c.

Took the family running errands in it today and it worked AWESOME!

Total cost was $55 for the booster and m/c from a salvage yard (shipped to my door) - and about $10 in fittings - and I had the misc bolts, etc.

:woot:

Are they still out of stock ? Can you post a pic of your finished system ?
