power to manual brakes - 04/24/12 07:10 PM

I have a 72 cuda with factory power disc brakes. I was thinking about changing to manual brakes due to the current installed cam not having alot of vacuum. What all is needed to make the change to manual brakes? Just a different master cylinder?
Thanks

I would assume you have a really hard brake pedal like that?

Just did a power drum to manual disc swap on mine. Search for the Disc-o-tech article from Mopar Action. It's got lots of good info. You do need to swap the master cylinder and I'd use one with a small bore to ease pedal pressure. I went with a 15/16 but I would like to try a 7/8.
