It uses 78 Monte Carlo rotors and celebrity calipers.  I have meet Bruce and he intended to use them on his 66 el Camino with original rims; but opted for 17” wheels and larger rotors.

Just watch for someone selling a complete, take off, spindle/disc set-up from a '69-73 Chevelle, '69-72 Camaro/Nova. Lots of people going to larger size aftermarket and selling their original stuff. All these are compatible with 14" wheels for disc brakes, you're original drum brake wheels most likely aren't going to work with any disc conversion I'm aware of. 1967 and up has disc compatible wheels.

This kit will work with 14" drum rims for the 66 or 67  SS,  Burce is a super nice honest guy, I touch base with him all the time in when I am  in phoenix. He actually designed a build a disc brake set up for his el camino.  A lot of kits will only work with 14" rims that are designed for disc brakes, I think all the rims from 69 and up that are 14" are designed for either disc or drum.  67 had a rally rim for disc brakes and 68 in addition to the rally rim had a specific rim designed for disc brake and a specific rim for drum brakes.

 

I was just wondering about stopping?
