Default 67 4K L78 Camaro

Friend of mine has a 67 4K Camaro L78 - end of the yr 67 production car.

It's a project car, and we were discussing the brakes.

What was the brake configuration for this car?

Drum with Master - #?
Drum with Power Booster Master - #?
Was disc an option at all ??

Appreciate the insight to this.

The 4K cars I’ve seen through the years could have any of the configuration you mentioned. Mostly see drum brake. My car is power disc, I think Jose’s black car is power disc.

Booster # 8515. Hard one to locate and they bring top dollar.
