Reply to "Brakes Upgrade"

Thanks everyone for your valuable advice. I've heard only good things about Porterfield pads so, I plan on doing the following:
1. Replace pads.
2. Change brake fluid.
3. Look for a GM / aftermarket master cylinder
4. Rebuilt front calipers to make sure they are functioning properly.
5. Install Wilwood rear calipers on stock solid rotors.

If after doing all of the above the car does not stop in a very short distance on street ( I don't track the car ) then, I will accept the fact that a 40 year old car is never going to brake like a modern exotic!

Larry, is there a specific GM master cylinder I should look for?
John, you mentioned having good experience with Wilwood calipers. Are there any Porterfield pads available for these calipers or the ones from Wilwood is the only choice?
