67 Camaro Brake Setup Question - Disc/Disc
 

My project is moving along, and I'm currently working on the brake system.

Here is my setup.

CPP Big Brake kit (Corvette 13" disc) with sealed bearing hubs
CPP Wilwood 2 piston rear disc kit
Brand new stainless steel hard lines

My question is what brake booster/master cylinder/proportioning valve setup I should use.

The car came with a similar setup to this:

The stamping on the proportioning valve is PV4 which should be disc disc.

I want to purchase a new setup. What do you guys recommend?

I'm just looking for a simple setup that will work well with the modern disc brakes.

TIA

I'm using a wilwood proportioning valve and master cylinder, manual brakes

Tobin, at Kore3, just sold me the same setup.

You may also want to look into 9" dual diaphram booster as well. The 9" will give you more clearance around the engine.

I'm not going to run a booster at first and see if I like it.

Just pick the right master and you'll be good.

Tobin advised a 7/8" Bore Wilwood MC will do the trick, based on my setup. I opted for the Wilwood rear proportioning valve also.

Here are the part numbers for reference:

Master: WIL-260-9439-BK
Prop Valve: WIL-260-13190

This is the setup:

That'll do the trick!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Thats a pretty set up ain't it?! I use it on all my builds now.


261-13270 is the full kit number for 1.120 bore. BK for black or P for ball milled silver.

Looks is secondary to function when it comes to this. I will say that I don't mind losing the sight of the booster in the engine bay.

:thumbsup:

Surrreeeeee it is. Haaaa

Wow.....

I have that same wilwood prop valve. How do you set it up (best place to position the dial before starting to try and fine tune it)? Any info would be appreciated. Never mind, I found it - http://www.wilwood.com/PDF/DataSheets/ds715.pdf

I feel the same way. I like the engine to stand out more than the back ground.




What i like to do is.....ok.

Here is the info that Wilwood gave me to setup my prop valve.


1. Set valve all the way open to 100% pressure flow (turn knob clockwise all the way until it bottoms out).
2. Turn knob counter clockwise (4) full turns, this is the starting point.
3. With an assistant outside of the car to watching the rear tires, run the car up to no more than 20 mph then get on the brakes aggressively (panic stop).
4. Based on the assistant’s observation, do one of the following:
· If the rear tires skid at the same time as the fronts, then pressure will need to be taken away by turning adjustment knob counter clockwise in full increments and repeat the run. Continue adjusting until rear tires no longer skid.
· If the rear tires do not skid, then turn the knob in clockwise to allow for more line pressure in full turn increments. Once the rear tires skid, go back and turn the knob counter clockwise in full turn increments until the rear tires no longer skid.

Good info! Thanks man. :thumbsup:

Use a stock C5 set up. They are cheap on ebay. I did not nead prop valve, it was perfect as is. Plus with OEM parts you can still get parts for it in 10 years.
