1. When I switch to disc brakes, will I have to change the master cylinder?
2. If I do have to change the master cylinder, can I install the one that is needed for disc brakes now and will it work with the drums?
3. Are manual disc brakes much more effective over drum if they aren't power disc brakes?

I used the forums search and couldn't find my answer.

1. Yes, I believe I'm using one from a 90's Dakota, but pretty sure any dual aluminum master cylinder will work. You will have to buy or make an adapter block to mount it. (Two bolt to four bolt.) There are after market master cylinders that have different diameter pistons. I'm using the larger diameter one in my car.
2. See #1.
3. Yes. I converted over many decades ago using early 70's A body disc brakes. I do not have power brakes and my car will stop very well. Very noticeable on your first test drive.
