[V8Vairs] Rear Disc Brakes

[GnKHOFFMAN at aol.com]

Guys:
 
I used the early 80's Eldorado/Riviera Discs on mine (actually, Lance  Jordan 
did this converversion years ago, and wrote about it in the V8 news  letter). 
 Hopefully one of these days I will have the time to write up what  I did.
 
I haven't hooked up the brake lines yet.  I am probably going to have  to 
remove the rear calipers, and put a block of wood in it to bleed them .... we  
will have to see.
 
On the fronts I did have to put on about a .090" spacer plate.  I did  take 
pictures, and perhaps I can post them.
 
The masterbrake group does have a good catalog (I am thinking I will need  to 
put the proportioning valve so that it pinches out the pressure to the fronts 
 (as opposed to front engine cars that do the opposite)?  Anyone have  
experience on this?
 
I bought a 7" dual diaphram booster from Masterbrakes (not yet mounted on  
the car).
