Rear disc brake conversion help
I have a 8.5" 10 bolt GM rear axle from a 73-74 Camaro/Firebird. It has been adapted to mount on leaf springs. I will have a non-staggered shock set-up. Problem is, all aftermarket rear disc brake kits that fit the Camaro rear axle specify for staggered shocks. Kits I found using non staggered, will not fit my axle shaft flanges. What would stop me from using a kit for staggered shocks being this is not a stock set-up? Thanks.
Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
