This is the pic of inside componets and you will notice the 6 rings as the book stated. From the top view you see both bowls are equal and there is a little screw that goes in the front bowl to hold the 1st piston in the front of the bore of cylinder.  Any other pics let me no. If you need a pic of the one in my car with the round proportioning valve let me no.  Also the hold down clips are shorter than the normal ones that you get in stores.

Thats the one i have. Thank you for posting it. This is the one i have been trying to get posted on the web site to clear up this misunderstanding of a manual disc brake M/C  for 67 camaro.  That is the correct casting number too!!
Is there anyway you can see what the Jullian date is on the bottom?  If we can get it being used back that far then i would say this should be made the correct one for camaro application.

You did find the post from April 5  2002. on camaro.net about this subject?
I guess a question i have, is this M/C that rare that people don't no its there. 
The camaro guy i ran across 2 days ago was told by a camaro go roe that he had the wrong M/C on his car and gave him a new one like the one you were discribing.
I told the guy i would like his old one.  This guys car was a Nov. car SS/RS 350 camaro but have not dug that far into  verify anything yet.  He,s redueing car.  What i want is the Jullian date of his M/C   His brakes have been changed somewhat and don't no to what entent yet.

I think your right about the M/C being level and bleeders not needed.  I have rebuilt mine and did not need to bleed the M/C.  I will get picks loaded tonight.  The jullian date i think would be helpful on date usage.  People can use a mirror on there car to get this.  One of mine has  87  the other i will get later.  I would like to see pics from someone with the #5460346 M/C  with AD and  bleeders too.

I guess my problem is this.  I have seen 5 or 6 other cars with the exact system and numbers and are original and nobody can put it down.  This is been going on for years and it keeps coming up over and over again.  I actually have a spair M/C  for how rare this is.  All the cars were SS 396 L78 camaro's.  The assembly instruction book i have shows the exact way my car is for the J52 option with out power and does not show bleeders.   I have been to Canada and as far as Missiorri  all are the same. On one message board about this was info about how many rings are on the slave cylinder inside and shows 6 for AD in a book  and when i took mine apart it has 6 rings on slave cylinder.  There also was a indiviual that wrote in and he has the L78 and had the same M/C.  I have owned my car for 23 years and nouthing with brakes has changed.  3 cars were July and 2 cars were june . 1 car i never was able to get date.
I just found another car yesterday and am working on getting info on it. This is what starting me going with this again.  The master cylinder sticks out like a sore thumb to me.  I have been looking at this for 12 to 15 years along with my brother and this is very rare to see on a camaro.
I would like to see a manual disc brake M/C with the AD stamped on the front that has bleeders!!  Too me those would be rarer than this because i have never seen another camaro that had manual disc with any other type M/C than the one we are discussing.
I don't mean to be short but this is info that needs to be posted.

I just noticed on CRG under chassis.  When you look at the info about the master cylinder the info is incorrect.  It states that 67 and 68 camaro's used the same master cylinder for disc brakes.  Manual disc was a 1 year only option!  Also i think there were 2 types of master cylinders used in 67.  One for manual disc brakes and the other for power disc brakes.  Manual had a 1 inch bore and power had a 1 1/8 bore.  These were not interchangable.  They are coded differently too.  Casting number for manual disc is #5459467
Looking at the info and reading throught it it never talks about the different casting number. The picture is misleading too by showing the top bleeders that are not on the manual disc MC.   What i am saying is there is quite a bit of difference between these 2 systems and info needs updated.  The AD and WT is there but more is needed to put it all together

I have been putting together a dated engine.  The sheets just show what engine.  Doesn't really go any further than that.
I have a 427 in it now and am going to put this dated 396/375 engine in this winter. Will the value go up?

Do you have an earlier intake manifold for trade?     I have a May 67 car looking for a 069 intake dated before this.  The intake i have is a 069 but the date is  11  21  67.

« on: December 20, 2007, 01:50:41 AM »

I like all the differences in driving and not.  My story is i drive when i can.  I don't lock the doors and don't leave anything in car.  The visibility is high and people are constantly looking.  I call it watching your car.  My thinking is what is someone going to steel out of your car?  One trick i use for me is when going to the mall and diner and movie and hours of fun  i pull the distributer rotor out and reclip cap.  Tell me who is going to have a specific rotor in there pocket.   Let someone crank for a while until they get board.  I owned my car for 22 years.

Originality / Re: 67 68 Camaro manual drum brakes

« on: November 22, 2007, 06:50:25 PM »

Yes i am talking about original one.  The other one is identical eccept for casting date.  I am in the process of rebuilding the swap meet one to put in car. The MC turned out to be rebuildable and clean. I replaced the brass seat last time and left the check valve alone.  The rear line is still original and it tightened  the seat up.  When done i should not have to remove MC again.
