Installing a new disc brake kit on the 1969 Chevy Nova Budget Build Disc Brake kit amzn.to/3ZZgRoV Bearing packer. amzn.to/3Tc2ueI As an Amazon associate I may earn from qualifying purchases
Use a silicone based grease on your caliper bolts. Syl-glide from NAPA, or similar works well. Those bolts ride on rubber O-rings. Regular grease will cause deterioration of the O-rings.

A good morning John, I made a video of me talking about those door striker pins. They ended up working out. I just used my factory washers with them for some strange reason. They worked out that way. I couldn't use the new washers, but the factory washers with the new pins worked out so. Just leting you know man. I did make a video that you could check it out if you want. Alright, God bless.

I just got done not too long ago rebuilding and surfacing all 4 drum brakes on my 71 four door . Been debating throwing a booster on those to have super touchy brakes or doing the disc conversion . I’m still on the ropes as to which to do but seeing how easy you made it seem I would not be against doing the conversion

It may seem difficult, but with the fact of every new car having them, they are definitely better and safer, because they cool down faster than drums could if you had to panic stop, plus they would allow you to stop sooner in that same situation. Honestly, it's more a budget matter in my mind. If I were to have the money to do that, I definitely would.

Did you get a chance to look at the Muscle Car Brakes, their ceramic brake shoes? They also sell ceramic brake pads for factory style calipers as well as drums, rotors, calipers, wheel cylinders and hardware for sometimes hard to find muscle car brake parts. If that kit uses factory style brake pads, when you need new ones take a look at the ceramic ones mentioned above.

Hey John I was watching this video and I was wondering if you still have the drum spindles and hubs. I am restoring an old chevy and have been looking for a pair. Please let me know if you have them and what you're looking to get for them. Love the Nova! Thanks!

Good video good stuff anyhow I was gonna ask you? Where did you get the rear hard brake lines that go over the axle to each wheel cylinder? You mentioned in the Video That you Weren't happy With Them, and that you were gonna Try another set of which ones you decide are better cause. I need to replace mine and I don't want to get ones that I'm gonna be unhappy with.

So the disc brakes have integrated wheel hubs for the Nova? I'd have thought they were separate. I wonder if the drum brake wheel hubs could be reused for custom discs.

You can buy disc kits that use the drum spindle. Not sure if there’s a kit that uses the drum hub. Maybe because if spacing?

Depends on if it’s for street or race. For street I have an old set of flow tec headers that fit great. On FrankenNova I’m running Hedman Hustlers that are 1 7/8 primary. They fit pretty good. Only had to dent a little for plug clearance.

@Shop209 it's just for street. I have straight plug headers right now and I was told that no matter what headers I put on, some plugs will still be blocked. Have you ran into that problem?

It doesn’t have to be. My other two cars are same way. Just a master cylinder without booster would be flush. I think I did it that way before because of the rod length that comes with kit.
