I want to convert my '71 Satellite from manual to power brakes.

I know the firewall reinforcement plate is different, and I know there's a bellcrank on the pedal linkage inside the car because the power brakes pushrod is higher up the firewall than the manual pushrod was.

My question: can the bellcrank be added to my existing brake pedal support structure, or does that need to be changed out from a power brake car?

Thanks.

JimmyG the JB weldmaster. Do you still have my modded metering rod caps up on your wall of shame? I think you need the whole PB assy (rods/bellcrank/plate/everything), not sure about the pedal, its mounting hole height for the right ratio may be different.

Robert, I honestly don't remember those metering rods. I'm not denying that I have them, but I'm racking my brain as to why I'd have wanted them in the first place because I haven't messed with rod-and-jet carburetors for myself in years (except for a brief, misguided foray into Edelbrock 800 country about 15 years ago). Could that have been what it was about? I do have boxes of carb parts (mostly Holley and stuff from my girlfriend's 6-cylinder Falcon) but I'll be happy to look and try again to remember. Give me a description of what I'm looking for. Is it possible you're confusing me with some unfortunate person who reminds you of me?

Your inbox is full or I'd have sent this via PM. Hopefully it won't hijack my thread. Feel free to PM me.

No bro we're good (hopefully neither one of us has early onset alheimers) & thanks for the heads up on the PM's as the other day a guy wanted to email the other day so I went in & deleted a bunch of em but obviously that ain't enough (I was wondering why I didn't hear from him).

BOT,

I believe the answer to your question is YES, the pedal support is the same between manual and power.
