Does anyone have pic's or a technical drawing of a front disk setup for a 68 chevelle? I have the spindle bolted on to the control arm ball joints and am trying to figure out how the backing plate, steering knuckle and the bracket for the caliper mount; I know they all tie-in somehow. I know how to go from there, but these first crucial pieces have caused a brain freeze for some reason. Thanks!

Is this the four-piston or two-piston style?

On the two-piston style the steering knuckle bolts to the back of the spindle. You might try both of yours to make sure you get the proper knuckle on the proper side. The caliper mounts to the rear of the hub centerline, so the backing plate will mount onto the spindle with the "C" cutout for the caliper pointing to the rear.

How's that for clear mud?
