1978 MALIBU "PROJECT TUMMY TUCK"

[GBoDYon4s]

Lookin cool bruh. My *ss is still running around on 20 year old pads & rotors . I'm a stickshift guy. I been checkin out brake threads on here, but the separate hub blazer spindles are expensive as **** in drop spindles, which I need for my airride setup I'm starting on. Some guys cut our old rotors down into just hubs, so I,m lookin into that route & making my own brackets for ls1 calipers & either ls1 camaro of the vette rotors. Do you know if only the LS1 camaros had the good brakes or if the 6 cylinder models are the same?

FYI, its good insurance to have a newer mc on a brake system, the crap that comes loose from an old one can clog the prop valve & make it leak.

You can get the good brakes off the camaro's 98-02 V6 or V8

Lookin damn good bruh! That wiring harness should work out cool for you. Takes a lot of strain off the cars old school electrical. Can you see a difference in this new kit vs the old setup you had? Keep the pics and updates coming bruh!!

Hell yes i see a difference, much brighter..... Looking good... They turn on and look sweet...


Ok guys....
So i bench bleed the master cylinder... I ended up getting a stock new 78 master cylinder... I guess the mc1926 mc was too big and not fitting... But will fit new gbodys maybe 80-87... 78 just a difficult yr to interchange parts!!! I self bleed the brake myself with a home made bleeded, which worked out great... Pedel feels way tighter and better than before.. Will test drive tomorrow.. All looks good and so far no leaks... Also had Ace come yesterday to replace the axle seal and so far so good no leaks there either... Happy all is taken care of...

Saint nothing wrong with the stocker but I would have changed to booster too as I found that made the bigger difference for me...either way I'm proud of how far you have come since the el camino......your doing great work....
