On the 1967 B-bodies, if you ordered the Hemi with a four-speed, power disc brakes were a mandatory option. If you ordered the Hemi with the Torqueflite, there were no braking requirements. This as per the salesman's pocket reference.

This as per the salesman's pocket reference. Are you sure about the info in the above post? Please show where is says that hemi 4 speed requires disc brakes. https://www.hamtramck-historical.com/dealerships/1967SalesmansPocketGuidesPlymouth-01.shtmlSee photos, from salesman pocket guide. GTX is far right column. HD brakes standard, disc optional on all models. Looking on transmission, engine and brake sections, nothing about this as mandatory. 451 is power brakes 408 is sure grip, they have those down as required. I have the 1967 data book and reading through it about brakes, transmission, and hemi there is nothing said about this combo requiring disc brakes.

My `69 Hemi roadrunner has factory manual disc brakes. Paul that was NOT a factory OPTION - all '69 b-bodies with disc brakes were fixed 4-piston calipers with a Bendix dual diaphragm power brake booster

That was A body only. KH system. Look at R and W and it is not an option. Look at Hemi engine and Power disc only. Someone harvested and expensive booster and hemi linkage. Or got tired of moving MC to take off valve cover and switched to manual MC. I don't think you car is a good braking with those bendix in front, but for a show car/ occasional cruiser no problem. Do you have B51 on fender tag?

This as per the salesman's pocket reference. Thanks for posting that, good to see in print. So it is not in the salmons pocket guide it’s in the back of the data book, not the main part.
