Hi everyone,

I have a '66 Dart with a 318 which I am swapping over to front disk (the 73-76 A-body ones), but this means there is little to no room for any kind of reasonably sized brake booster.
has anyone come across a booster that works for this application or is a booster that small not even going to be worth it and I should just go with the manual front disks?
-I will post a picture as soon as I get back out to the garage so you can see what kind of space I'm dealing with-

 

i wonder if you can convert to hydroboost on that.

 

That would certainly help with the space issue. I don't have power steering though I wonder if I could set the pump up to run just the booster and not have to deal with swapping out steering gearboxes or anything

 

Manual brakes will work fine !!! I had the conversion on my 67 Coronet/ manual brakes.
Stopped just fine from 100 mph when on the track No problems on the street

 

Yup. I'm running the original "all drum" master on my 67. I have 73 / 4 front disc, and a Ferd Versailles disk brake rear axle, so 4x disk brakes. I destroyed the residual valves in the master. The thing works great no booster, and my legs are not that strong, anymore.

 

In fact, I believe they say that you have to be careful of the booster when switching to discs because of the pressure. I might stick with the manual setup and see what happens.

 

Thanks for the tips guys. I'll get the manual set up in there and see how I like it.

 

Where can I get a manual brake kit?

 

Maybe piece it together at auto zone?
