Re: 69 Camaro DISC BRAKE OPTIONS
Can an ss or COPO cars be ordered with front drum brakes. Are there any exceptions or "weird" cars out there.
Basically the issue is we don't want run a Power Brake booster J52, and to make the car "legal" to race rules are stating we have to. The two 69 cars in question are a SS L89 and a COPO

Re: 69 Camaro DISC BRAKE OPTIONS
We have wilwood brakes on it now. If I can prove a car came without the booster then it will let us run without one. Or if you could get the manual drums in the front then we wouldn't have to run one. As we are allowed as per the rules to upgrade the brakes.

Re: 69 Camaro DISC BRAKE OPTIONS
Power front discs were included with Camaro SS equipment, required with COPOs 9560 & 9561.

Re: 69 Camaro DISC BRAKE OPTIONS
From a reliable source, SS cars could be ordered with manual drum brakes but all COPOs had PWR brakes.

[/ QUOTE ] Actually this site is probably the most reliable source you can find anywhere, and these guys are correct... there were definitely no copo OR SS cars with drum brakes in 69. I know of no exceptions.
