manual disc brakes?

[Armyvet25]

could a 71 charger have manual disc/drum brake setup?

Not from the factory.

No idea on a '71, but the Wife's 3600 mile '67 x 383 4 gear Formula S is a front disc manual brake factory car with the broadcast / build sheet to back it up.

I have only seen manual disc brakes on A-bodies.

 

[R/T Boy 67]

As above. A bodies only.

 

[YY1]

Me three.

Quite common on A body cars, actually.

At least 73 and up.

Manual disc started again on 73 E bodies, and dodge 1/2 ton pickups.
My beater 75 pickup with manual disc stops great, just a bit more pedal effort at speed. Definitely helps with the empty bed, rear lockup problem, as you can feel the rear grip especially when wet.

I'll get a pic of mine, see if that helps, never heard of it myself is why I asked

My 68 Coronet has manual disc brakes on the front. I'm assuming they are factory.

Manual disk with 73 and up A body parts has been a real popular upgrade on any pre- standard disk brake era car for quite some time..

Brakes, other than what was "standard" should be coded on the fender tag.

 

[Armyvet25]

here's the master, I also decoded the fender tag, originally thought it was a B5 blue car, nope, B2

Looks like an original non booster to me, does have disc/drum brakes

 

[Armyvet25]

yeah, previous owner thought he was going to paint it Panther Pink, got as far as under hood fender/firewalls.

 

[YY1]

Lynch road car, so a bit more difficult, or at least out of my league to decode, but judging from the other work (paint) I'd say it's highly likely they were added later.

 

[Armyvet25]

The actual power brake assist code I believe is B51, but is only found on the build sheet I believe, haven't searched for that yet.

My dad special ordered them on his ‘70 Valiant. Cost $49.

If that is the original master cyl. then, it left the factory with drum brakes.

even being a dual reservoir, so I assume it's a dual drum master? doubt it's original

Looks like the standard manual drum master used in 71. I would check that it even has a prop valve too.

you can see the prop below the master in the pic

 

[T2R9]

Hard to tell but looks like the iron prop valve. If so I would get a 15/16" 73 A-body style master and run it. Maybe put a kit in the prop valve. Basically what I am doing to my 70.
