My 66 has what appear to be very original manual four wheel drum brakes. A couple of them may still work from time to time.

I would like to upgrade but want to stay with manual brakes.

Can anyone guide me through possible choices?

A simple manual dual master cylinder upgrade. Which master cylinder, and do I need a proportioning valve with four drums?

A manual front disc upgrade? This seems the best way to go, but most of the kits I see have boosters.

Or should I bite the bullet and just put on a complete matching front disc conversion?

Thanks.

Ron,

You can stay with a manual dual master and upgrade to disc's. You will need a proportioning valve with the disc conversion. Check the Brakes and Suspension forum, Derek has a great sticky in there
