Not to completely hijack the thread, but this is relevant to my interests. I've got a 69 mustang with some swapped brakes. The car was originally a 6cyl with manual drum brakes.
Receipts show the previous owner used bearings, pads, and rotors for a '75 granada from autozone.
Rear axle is out of a 96 mustang, with those disc brakes.
As far as I can tell, the hard lines, proportioning valve, and manual master cylinder are all original. The car does not stop like you'd expect with 4 wheel disc brakes. I can stomp on the pedal as hard as I want, and the brakes wont lock up any of the tires.
How would you guys go about making the car stop better? Does it need a power booster to be able to really grab the rotors? Or do you need a different master cylinder or proportioning valve?
