1968 GTX, all wheel drums (11" all around) as came from factory.
For now, I was thinking of just installing a booster.
Questions:
1. Do I understand correctly that the boosted all-drum setups used the same master cylinder as the manual ones?
2. Is it really just a simple matter of pulling the master loose from the firewall, removing the little rectangular adapter plate (but leaving the much larger one in place) and installing a booster for all drums?
FSM has this pic of the booster:
It appears to me that the connection to the brake pedal is pretty much the same as for the manual brakes? I'd pull the pushrod out of the master I have now, mount the master up to the booster (after adjusting the booster pushrod for zero play) and bolt it down?
Yes yes yes, disc conversion will happen one day as finances allow.
For now, ANY improvement in braking is welcomed, especially if it's as simple as it looks.
Help/advice?
