Default Just picked up my 1st gen

I'e always wanted a 1st gen and I finally got one. 67 350/4speed. Factory V8 car but not a true SS.

looking to add power disc brakes up front but it seems it doesn't cost much more to do them on all 4. Any kit that is recommended?

I also have to give it an altitude adjustment.

Nice Camaro, I've used Classic Performance Products on other cars (drum to disc) and have always been satisfied. My 69 Camaro came with disc from the factory up front. BTW, I went with a 4" tall air filter element on my cowl induction air cleaner and that's with a big block. Get all the air you can!

Can you list tire sizes? I like the stance and my 67 still has the original 14's on it.

Congrats - nice ride.
Looks like springs have been changed and when checking for disc brakes kits, most, not all, take 15 inch wheels.
You might look into buying caliper brackets, '69 loaded calipers, and cutting down upper anchor bolt boss on spindle, bracket will show you where as bottom bolt is same for both brakes, and continue on.
You would/may have to shim the upper mounting bolt from the cut making the caliper as close to parallel as you can.
Change hoses, add fluid and bleed. Oh, grease bearings.
