I have an 82 so I can't tell you the 78-79 specs exactly but this is a scan from my 82 workshop manual. I can't imagine there'd be too much different between 78-79 and an 82. It's somewhere to start if no one else chimes in...

There's a good spec sheet on Vette Brakes and Products site:

They also have a downloadable PDF that you could print out.
