73 Charger power to manual brakes

[moparman73]

To convert to manual from power brakes what do i need? I already have the MC, it looks like I need a reinforcement plate that is bolted on behind the MC and a pushrod--anything else needed? I have a spare manual pushrod from an a-body, will it work? Anybody know a source for the metal plate ?

Hello... I can only offer you a little bit of info. I do not think the A body push rod will work. I used a master cylinder off a 75 maunal brake Duster and the push rod was too short for my application - like 2 -3 inches short. My car is a 72 charger. It had previously been coverted to manual drum brakes from power discs because the previous owner had an 11 ich brakes setup laying around and all the power stuff on the car was shot. You can use an adjustable brake pedal push rod if needed.

Godspeed,
JON

Thanks, Jon, good info.

Does anybody know about the metal plate?
