Drum to Disc Conversion

I just purchased a disc brake rear end from a 1991 Firebird. What do I have to change on my 1992 Camaro RS to make this work? Should I also get the proportioning valve from the Firebird?

Yep, all you need is the prop valve. You should buy new rear brake hoses, too. Brake hose deterioriates over time, 10 years sounds like a good replacement time. If you want, you can buy the valve new from GM. This might also be a good time to flush your brake system of old fluid. Enjoy the swap!

Just bolt it on, the previous post covered what you need. Check the pads also.
