73 Duster PDB car. I have always HATED power brakes and since the engine is out of the car, swapping to MDB now makes sense. So... On the pedal assembly on later A Bodies was there a different ratio/pivot point between the PDB/MDB pedals? Thanks!

pedal is the same PB has a bellcrank, and that accounts for the different mounting location of the master's centerline. Need the manual brake mounting/reinforcement plate and pushrod. Make sure the master has a provision (internal step in the outer piston bore) for the pushrod retainer.
You'll see the PB bell crank mounted to the pedal arm. Remove it and use the same hole in the brake pedal arm for the new push rod. As stated you have to have the manual brake firewall reinforcement plate and be very sure the push rod cannot fall out or be easily pulled out of the MC. There is a grommet that "locks" the push rod into the MC piston hole.
