Disk Brake Swap ????

[PERRO]

I'VE GOT A 69 NOVA WITH DRUM BRAKES. I ALSO HAVE A 1976 OLDS OMEGA WITH DISK BRAKES. I WANT TO KNOW IF I COULD USE THE OMEGA DISK BRAKES ON THE NOVA EVEN THOUGH THE DIFFRENCE IN THE YEAR AND THE REAR STEAR AND FRONT STEAR? IF ANY ONE HAS SOME INFO ON THIS PLEASE HELP? YOU CAN ALSO EMAIL ME AT [email protected]
THANKS.

I don't think the Omega will fit, if it was a 73 or 74 it would. The nova disc conversion uses disc set-ups from a lot of GM cars from 69 to 74. After 73/74 there was a magor change in brake design. 62 to 72 Novas can use :
Buick 69-72 Century, Regal, Skylark, Special, GS
Chevrolet 69 Camaro, 69-72 Chevelle, El Camino, Malibu
69-74 Chevy II, Nova, Concours
OLDS 69-72 Cutlass, F85, 442, Vista Cruiser
Pontiac 69 Firebird, 69-72 Grand Prix, GTO, Lemans, Tempest, Grand Am 71-74 Phoenix, Ventura
GMC 69-74 Sprint, Caballero
If you can find any of these disc brake car at the local wrecking yard, the swap is pretty easy. Also if you pull these get the master cylinder and proportioning valve, and rubber brake hoses.
I just completed a conversion on a 1962 Chevy II.

hope this helps.

Thanks for the info I guess I can sell the Omega now!
Time to look for another donor car.
