You said this car has a disc brake conversion? I hate to tell you this, after all the nice plumbing you've done, but you need to replace your combination valve. Drum brake valves are designed differently than disc/ drum or disc/ disc. MP brakes has nice units available with easy to use...

Many of the power brake conversion kits, (very good one), do just that. Relocate the push-rod location on the original manual brake pedal. nothing wrong with that, if you know how to use a drill, it saves you a good bit of money as well.

as easy as it is to pull the steering wheel, I recommend that as well - ultimately, to each their own . . .

The best approach is to start with replacing the worn-out parts you have now, THEN see if you need/ want to throw all that money into the extra items you mention. Start with lifting your front end off the ground, look at the condition of all your bushings/ ball joints. If the boots are torn/...

I recently installed a power conversion to a factory manual brake '71 Mach1. The conversion re-uses the manual pedal, but the pedal has to be re-drilled 2" lower than the factory, (manual), push rod hole. this provides the proper angle for the push rod while creating a 4-to-1 pedal ratio. LESS...

gravity bleed the whole system. put it up on blocks & let the suspension go to full droop, (wheels off, obviously). start w/ RR, then LR, then RF, then LF. whatever you do, do NOT let the reservoir go empty during the process or you'll have to start all over. . . .may take 1-1/2 to 2 quarts.

have you relocated the connection point on the brake pedal? if not, that is why your boosted brakes are so easy. manual brakes should have a 6-to-1 pedal ratio, power brakes should be 4-to-1.

I forgot to mention that I was converting to power disc brakes. In order to do the power conversion PROPERLY, the hanger & pedal must be removed & modified accordingly. Had to pull the instrument cluster & the steering column brackets. the hanger has been removed, modified & re-installed. no...

I have recently acquired a weathered '71 Mach1 w/ 351, manual drum brakes. The MC & wheel cylinders have all leaked out. I want to pull the brake pedal bracket & have removed everything at the firewall, but am unclear as to what-all needs disconnected at the dash end. please help.
