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!

Bump.

Not sure but it may be a different pivot. My uncle had a charger converted from manual brakes to power back in the late 70's and I'm guessing nobody knew about a potential pedal difference. My dad drove the car and just about threw himself out the front windshield when he pushed the brake pedal in 1".

That's why I ask Sorta like discovering reverse thread lugs at 16. If decades of other people have found out the hard way over the years, I would hate to join the same club 36 years later.

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.

And 7/8ths rear wheel cylinders too, right?

Is there a part # for that retainer, I am imagining a reman master cyl will not have it included in the box.

1) Will swapping to a modern 2 bolt m/c and using the 4/2 adapter take the place of the factory plate?

2) Do I want the 1-1/32 or the 15/16 for manual discs?
