Update..........I bought the CPP 4 wheel disc brake assy.....it came with Wilwood front calipers and mid 80's Seville rear calipers with built in parking brakes.......Which (In theory) simplify everything.....LOL.....The E-Brake levers that are part of the caliper are key to setting these units up....The way they are supposed to work is to use an internal ratcheting device to keep the pads adjusted as the Parking brake is used........In the initial install set-up I fought with these things to get the pad clearance set-up correctly........Couldn't do it........after a week of messing with them I ended up modifying the arms by cutting and welding to get the hex to time out with the stops so everything was adjusted correctly......
So....we took the car to the Dells for the show up there.....the brakes didn't seem to be working correctly even though I had a great pedal......Hummm!!!.......So.....The other day I stopped at the Frame-up Street Rod shop and talked to Donny and explained my concerns.....He took it for a test ride and hit the brakes pretty hard a couple of times.......got out the infrared temp gauge and shot the front and rear rotors....Front "Hot"......rear "Cool".......Hummm!!!......I left the car with him and 4 hours later I get a call that the car is fixed.........It seems the supplied factory proportioning valve was "Junk"......They put a adjustable one in and then "Fine" tuned the system...........Can you say "Stopping Power".........Man.....Instant Stress Relief........My hat is off to Frame-Up and Donny.........Sometimes is best to swallow your pride and just admit that other people know more that I do...........Lesson learned to not assume because it's new it must be O.K........Now I just have a couple minor things to finish up before starting the annual Power Tour thread........
