different mounting locations for brakes on 1983 Trans Am
I was in the midst of doing a brake bleeding after I replaced a bad master cylinder and snapped a bleeder screw. I also noticed that my pass. rear caliper was mounted on front part of rotor. Where as my drivers rear was mounted on the back part of the rotor. I have since found out it was a normal thing on that year. My question is is there anything I can do to set it up so they are both on the back or vice versa both on the front.

All years through 88. In 89, both calipers went to the backside. That swap is common:
