67 Dart drum brake swap - 10/10/14 06:39 AM

planing to change my 67 Dart from non boosted drum brakes to mid 70s disc brakes and keep it non boosted, do I need to change the master cylinder and or the brass block thats on the chassi rail?

Def. change the MC to a disk/drum setup. How are you doing this? Aftermarket, Cordoba setup, 68-71 disks? Makes a big diff.

On my 65 dart I went from non power 9" drums to 74 A discs/10" BBP (2&1/4"?) rear drums with a truck 1&1/8" (iirc) alum dual bowl MC & kept the OE splitter block & ran the forward bowl straight to the rear as Eberg touted but with no added adjustable prop valve & it performed flawless. It did lockup the rears first if I hit it hard and admittedly this was regular easy driving around town/no panic stops needed. -people say you need the larger bowl half for the discs but for enthusiasts like ourselves who check the fluid level regularly the added insurance of a larger bowl ain't an absolute as it is not in danger of running dry like it might be with granny in a DD (liabilty issues for Ma) and on the MC bore dia people have had to stand on the pedal with a MC of too large a bore but I never ran into that and I dont think you will either in this case. IF you need a longer front flex hose the 78 Volare hose is longer & just cut off half of the metal bracket that is crimped in the middle of the hose (you'll see when you look at it).

Yes, I'd change them both. If possible use the distribution/proportioning block/valve from the disc brake donor car.
You upgrading the rears to large bolt pattern brakes as well?
