I have a '70 Cuda that is a non-numbers matching and not a trailer queen show car. She is a great driver that my wife and I drive for fun.
The original power brake booster and master cylinder are showing their age. I want to replace them and make the entire system set for the next 20+ years.
What components do you recommend that are budget friendly and will not look out of place? I have a 340/727, so I really do not have to look at a full resto-mod 4 wheel disc upgrade. Front disc/rear drum are on the vehicle now.
The current parts in the car came from an AAR doner vehicle so there may be some value there if I sell them at a swap meet.
I am not rich...but I get off my ass everyday to make sure I am not broke!
Can we get the Mexican cartels to help us with our supply chain issues? They don't seem to have any trouble getting stuff from one place to another.

Do the 11.75" "Cordoba" swap (same as Dr Diff Stage -2)... this is the best low-cost large brake conversion and everything remains Mopar. You'll need to have disc brake spindles. IF you already have them, use Dr Diff's sleeve adapter to mount the larger 11.75" rotors (that's what I should've done instead of changing to 73-up spindles.. a hassle to change spindles!).
For a master cylinder, definitely go to a modern light-weight aluminum MC... talk with Dr Diff for his suggestion.. again, remains MOPAR.
At a later time, get his 10.75" rear disc setup.
These sizes of rotors will still allow you to use 15" rims.
