Tim,
Generally speaking, the Camaro brakes are considered "tall spindles" (except
the early years) and they will work as long as you don't want to use your
factory upper control arms. The geometry will be WAY wrong, IF they even
fit. The "tall spindles" will require the use of an aftermarket tubular
control arm. This is very common in many of the disc brake conversion kits
that are advertised. Not a bad thing to do, unless you get a set that are
not good quality or the manufacturer is gone when you need support or
service. Many of these use different ball joints than your 68 as well or at
least that's what I've been told. I opted for a disc setup from a 72 Malibu
for my conversion (66 ragtop) in order to retain the original control arms.
I'm limited to rotor sizes, but it's not a track car. A big reason for going
with the later Camaro spindles is that they change the geometry enough to
give more flexibility with camber adjustments (I think it was camber, but
maybe not. I can't recall right now.), and of course 12" rotors.
