1969 Z28 standard front brake calipers

[samanatoo]

Were the standard 1969 Z28 front calipers single piston type?   And did the JL8 4 wheel disc option only give you front and rear twin piston "corvette like" calipers. Thanks

YES AND YES.standard front discs on the z were single piston. when jl-8 was ordered, there wer 4 piston corvette type calipers on all four wheels.

Thanks I thought so but I only saw twin piston types in the pics in Jerry's book.

As the captions show, the two photos at the top of page 53 that show 4-piston calipers are front and rear JL8 calipers; the text on page 51 says "1969 calipers were changed to an improved single-piston design".

How can I tell if mine are the originals or the correct type? my whole car looks as new so I doubt they are the originals
