Got some goodies for the camaro in the mail the other day. I got another used a b s brake module, and abs traction control modulator. On the 1997 camaro the proportioing valve is part of the ABS modulator which I'll need to run the rear disc. So eventually I'll start building the brake lines.

 

Got some bad news followed by some good news. Bad news is that the 2000 trans am axle aren't going to work in my 73 10 bolt. I sent them off to be cut and resplined. The splined end of the shaft is to small. So I had Moser Engineering make me some axles with an adapter installed so I can press on the ABS sensor ring.



Here they are out of the box





Now I just need to transfer the ring and install them and the rear disc brakes!

here's a shot of the ABS module and Traction control unit. It's not much to look at yet I still have to clean it up.



I finally got the water pump cleaned up and installed since I removed it to replace the distributor. (in cased you missed it yes the distributor is behind the water pump I'm not crazy I promise)



Now I just need some bulk stainless brake tubing and a flaring tool. It's pluming time, I'm pretty excited to bend some pipe.

 

I hate bending my pipe. On the other hand I do pretty good bending tubing.

 

JME, Great looking build!!! Love the modern aspect! And a nice solid car with great history to boot!

 

Very interesting stuff, I'm really impressed. I really need to get my car out of storage and get cracking....you're making me feel bad lol

 

Hey thanks. Yeah get working on it kid lol. don't forget to take lots of pictures.

I'm FINALLY working on the LS1 rear disc brake swap now. I'm taking lots of pictures to share. I'll post em up when I get it done. I'm almost there I am in the process of relocating the lower driver side shock mount to the inside of the leaf spring. Then I have to get the parking brake working.

 

I need some detailed pics of your shock relocation. I need ideas.

 

looking good jme dont know how i missed this one keep up the good work,cant wait to see the finished project.

I was reading my whole thread and I realized I never posted this. Its really short but its all a shot of break clean will get ya.

 

Yep, definitely short! Try squirting gas into the throttle body a it runs. I've used a squirt bottle to keep them idling until my squirt bottle runs out.
