I've got about 80% of my 69 Camaro completed, but I'm hung up on the brakes and the wiring. My car came with manual disc brakes which I can't find even a single picture on google of anywhere. I'm also getting hung up with wiring. My harness is in decent shape and I don't want to fork out $360-$500 for a new one.Anyone have any recommendations besides Chiltons or Motorbooks Workshop? Thanks!

 

Authentic Restoration Guide

Camaro Restoration Guide 1967-1969 by Jason Scott



Good book, not a bible by any means but a large amount of good information and guidance. Barnes and Noble had it on the shelf.

 

If you need to know where everything goes during a resto, a $20 assembly manual will be worth it's weight in gold. I also have a Chevy Chassis Service Manual specific to the 69 year, which is a reprint of the original manual that GM published in the day. It's an excellent book,and it covers EVERYTHINGyou may need reference to for service, except for major engine overhaul.

 

I don't know if www.alldatadiy.comhas anyting about the first gens, but it was extremely helpful when I put the V8 in my Jeep.


Nevermind, it only goes back to 1982... but it is good for working on other cars though!!!

 

I agree!

I would really second-think your choice about re-using your original harness though. a new harness is cheap insurance against electrial gremlins in the future.

 

How tobuy this great book?

 

Thanks for the responses. I've been waiting for my Chasis Manual which has been in the mail forever [:@]. I've got my brake lines finished and most of the wiring wrapped up.
