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.

Re: 69 Camaro DISC BRAKE OPTIONS
Very reliable on the 69 info, from this site actually. It wasn't normal but it was possible. NO COPO's (DAMN) but the SS yes. I need an example.
We just got sold of a SS396 Chevelle ordered without disc.

Front power disc brakes were mandatory options on both.

There was no way to delete it. http://www.camaros.org/suspen.shtml#Brakes 69 Chevelle - I think that's a different story...
