Most popular brakes for this era would have been Dia-Compe MX1000 or 900's.  Or a copy of the said brakes :)

As above these only came as framesets not complete bikes so the brakes which were put on was what was about around 1984 so mx1000/mx900 as said above copies of these were used a lot bitd,

MX 1000s are what you need.900s,901s or 880s dont really have enough reach.

MX 1000s are the preferred choice but 880/901s will work
