I have changed the 2 b bodies I've owned over to manual from power. First was a 70 charger, loved the manual discs. ended up being a racecar.
The currently owned 67 coroent eis still my daily driver, 4000#, manual steering and manual brakes, loves them both. I like the road feel in the brake pedal. I have the 12" rotors and caliper adapters on 76 a body spindles. Will never go back to power brakes.
On the other hand I seem to be the only one, all my friends hate my brakes, but they all drive chevys......

So, if I read this right, I need a new master cylinder if I take the power booster off. Do I need a different push rod for the pedal to the master cylinder? And can I use the aluminum master that Ehrenberg sells?

I'm really considering removing the power booster from my '73 Satellite. I need to remove it for painting anyway, I just never liked power brakes. So, I just need to find the rod and an adapter to the master cylinder. I don't want to butcher it, though. That's why I was wondering about the aluminum cylinder. I'm putting the car on a diet....

MP has a convertion kit for $160, with the iron master cylinder. I wonder if they sell it without the master? Unless Zippy PM's me. I'll call MP 2morrow!
