BRAKE question????

I have an 89 Formula 350 tpi with 4wheels disc brakes WS6 performance suspension. I thought thaT the front calipers were dual piston calipers?? If they are single piston calipers what can I do to put on a stock dual piston caliper??

Unless your car is a 1LE--and most likely it isn't--you have Delco-Moraine single-piston iron calipers with 10.5" rotors. The following link details the how-to to convert:

Should you be unsure what the 1LE system looks like, check my Car Details below for pics.
