I'm dealing with substandard braking in my 70 Charger. I have 12" Cordoba rotors, 2.75" calipers, 11" Dr Diff rear discs and a 75 Dart power booster and 15/16" master cylinder. I've tried 4 different master cylinders, tried switching to a manual master cylinder setup, tried different calipers up front, different brake pads....The car stops but isn't as good as a friends 73 Duster disc/drum setup.
It seems that the only constant is the A body booster. I know that with the lighter A body cars, the pedal ratio is likely lower than a stock B body. The unit I have has a standoff bracket that has the reduction linkage under the hood, easy to see. I'm considering a switch to a stock type B body setup. From what I understand, The 68-70 b booster bolts directly to the firewall with linkage under the dash. I've seen the pictures of the setup laying on a bench but can't wrap my head around how it works as installed and in place. A few pictures would really help!
Please!
