Hot Chicks!! or Power Disc Brake to Manual Disc Brakes I want to put a 4 speed top loader in my 77 302 2dr Mav but i am having a hard time deciding if I want to give up my Power Disc Brakes. What would I have to change to get rid of the power brakes for the manual...is it just a matter of removing the power booster and installing a manual master cylinder, do I need a different brake pedal? Does the clutch pedal have to be off a mav with disk brakes or can it be a drum brake car? Do I have to change proportioning (sp) blocks....... Any other tips would be a big help. I have seen a lot of info on the drum to disc change but not a lot on the power disc brake to manual disc brakes. Is it worth it to change the brakes for a 4spd? Any info would be much appreciated. Anyone want to buy a power booster setup?? ....and thanks to Sam for selling me the car, I love it! Thanks. JP
You need the entire manual brake pedal bracket assembly that attatches to the steering column and firewall. The manual master cylinder, and brake lines with the correct size fittings which you'll probably have to customize (not that hard with a double flare tool) to go from the prop-valve to the master cylinder. Then get a standard spring tower brace since you won't need that big one that's used for the power brake set-up...
