Does anyone have a picture of the rear disc brake set-up without the wheel on?? Im putting them back on and had a brain fart on how they go. Need a picture to help get me going again.

Thank you

82-88 cars were equipped with Delco-Moraine iron calipers and 10.5" rotors, which have a bad reputation on the board; however, I ran them for several years (with the recall kit) and never experienced any problems. The 89+ rear discs, however, are PBR's with 11.7" rotors--are different breed of cat altogether.

I've been autocrossing with rear delco moraine iron calipers for almost 2 years and they are capable of locking the back wheels. I don't understand why people think they are complete crap.

One person said it, a second repeated it, a third took it as gospel.... Who knows. Perhaps in advance of the recall, there was some truth in it, but I was happy with them on my 85 before the upgrade bug bit my ****.
