Technically the metering valve says this is 69-70. Obviously it will fit all 64-72, and you can change to a combo valve it you want. Nice complete set.

Joe,
Didnt the 67-68 disc brake cars get the metering valve as well? Just different styles.

Yes, but they didn't have single piston calipers as shown in the photo above.

Thanks Joe!
67 and 68 used the (often leaky) 4-caliper system-- 69 and 70 changed to a 2-caliper system with a metering valve locared near the master cylinder and 71-72 had a single proprtioning valve located down on the frame.
This setup is technically a 1970, but will function fine for 64-72 A-bodies

Go it. Thanks.
Was a slight bit of doubt which is why I asked.
Recently Mike Gibbions (Brake Bosters dot com) restored the correct 68 disc booster/master/meter valve last year.
A 1972 CS gave up all the other required parts.

Front disc brake set

Would that work for a 69 Cutlass S Holiday Coupe with manual brakes? I really need to get disc brakes on the front.

Fits all 1964-74 Cutlii. If you want manual discs, you will need a different M/C with a 1" bore. If you want the power discs, everything here bolts up.

Disc brake set

What size were the wheels on those? 14 inch or 15 inch?

Disc brake set

I'm looking for power disc brake set up.
Would it be possible for shipping to western PA? I'm willing to pay for it.

Every single 1967-72 Olds A-body with disc brakes left the factory with 14" wheels (except the 1969 H/O). Be aware that there are two styles of 14" wheels, those that clear disc brakes and those that don't. In the photo, disc brake wheel on the left, drum on the right. Note how the dropped portion of the rim is shaped differently to clear the caliper.

Thanks. That's a good way to for me to find out. Unfortunately I don't know what style of rims they are. The wheels and tires were on it when I bought it and it has manual brakes.
