Now, on to replacing the left front brake caliper for the fourth time. If there’s another Corvette in my future I’ll never purchase brake calipers from local parts houses again.[/QUOTE]

Put Wilwood calipers on once and be done.
D8-4’s (4 piston) on all fours corners or D8-4’s on the rear and D8-6’s (6 piston) on the front.
They will fit with the oem 15” rally wheels.

The Willwoods are quite choice I'm sure. Maybe someday when the '64 is finished.

I also heard a story about an overheating coil that was corrected by installing a correct igniton rotor. There was excessive gap between the rotor tip and the distributor cap. The coil was overworked to jump the gap.
