convert '82-'92 Firebird/Camaro manual steer and brakes?

chevy620 · 02-14-2011, 11:47 AM

Have any of you guys done this? The local salvage yard isn't being much help.
Is there a manual steering box from the factory or one from another model that fits?
What about getting rid of power brakes? Did these cars come with a non-power brake setup?

Any help is appreciated, working on the next Project Car, "10 - The HARD WAY".

Thanks,

Jok

I put a manual brake master cylinder for a early 80's model s-10 on our 85 Camaro. It bolted right up to the firewall and doesn't have the top part at a angle like the stock one does. It has two big resevoirs and the brake lines hook up easy, plus the brakes are great and have a good feel. Hope this helps.
