The original calipers are still on the car. The casting dates are 101 and 107 which is the middle of April.

Now you can feel safer at the track being all new front brakes and a suspension redo.
I second the idea of replacing the front hoses, but you probably were going to already. |

Kurt-
Double check the lower control arm bolts that run through the bushing and attach to frame - when I re-did my front suspension on the Chevelle the shoulders of the bolts were really worn and needed replacing. Jake |

Jake,
Indeed you are correct.....this much more evident with oval bushings as on your Chevelle vs. the round bushings on a 1969 model. Dan
