My wagon came with power drum brakes. I put on a disc brake kit that uses GM calipers. It came from Amerian Performance. They said I could use the saame M/C. I have not been to happy with it. It is time to get a new one for disc brakes. I am not interested in modifying one. I want one to bolt up to my booster with no problems. Any suggestions/part #'s. Thanks

Did they have a power disc option for your car then that would be the way to go.
Now I am guessing they did not so you have to find a model that used power disc and see if that will bolt up.
Unless someone has done this and can say use xxx and it will bolt up.

I used one from a 71 Hornet with disc brakes. I had to slightly elongate the mounting holes to attach it to my drum booster, though. No big deal, a couple of minutes with a round file.

Why Ramblers? Chicks dig 'em. Whatever it is, I can take it apart.

Did the Hornut M/C work with the original Bendix booster?

I have both drum and disc booster and master cylinders off of 65 Ambassadors if you need to know what line side they use let me know.
PM works best as I am going to Vermont 26th through the 1st of July. |
