Brake Squeel Help
Need some advice on brake squeel on my 72. Is it a common problem? Not sure what's the best way to get rid of it. Does the common cures such as brake quiet applied to the back of the pads work? This squeeling is driving me crazy, not to mention embarassing the hell out of me!

I had the same problem when I installed semi metallic brake pads in my Vette.
Go to the autopart store and buy a set of "ORGANIC" brake pads for the front and rear, (they are cheap) and your problem is cured. These brake pads are great for a street driven Vette...
