What power brake booster / master cylinder, proportioning valve do I need to convert a 1972 dart swinger to power brakes? Car has disc brakes on the front, drums on the rear.
 
i think if you get the correct master cylinder you'll find your brakes are almost like power steering.What size piston is in your existing master?
Oops..almost like power brakes not power steering.

I don't know what size it is. I was thinking about converting to power brakes
 
If you're after relevant answers you should post in the Brakes forum instead of the Small Block Engine forum.

Is this a trick question?
Start by sourcing parts for a'72 Dart with power brakes... '72 back to '70 should all be the same (back to '67, and '73 and up will also work, but is different).

No sir it's not a trick question. I'm getting a good deal on the dart and as I said earlier it needs a few cosmetic items done to it. I believe that there's a mopar salvage yard in my area and I think that I'll start there.
 
I personally love the manual discs on A bodies. I recommend getting the car and driving it for a while. You might be surprised how well they work as long as everything is in good shape.
