I wasn't sure but is there any processors to removing power brakes and changing them to Manual Brakes? Do I just need to get a new master Cylinder without the Brake power booster or is there something I am missing. I wanted to change my brakes from power brakes to manual brakes.



What are the good and bad points between manual brakes & power brakes? Thanks guys :colors:

You'll need a new master and a manual push rod. As for good and bad.... In my opinion..
Power good: little pedal effort to stop the car. Easier to change master cylinder.
Power bad: Too little effort to lock up the brakes. Makes working on the drivers
side of the engine harder. Something else to fail. Doesn't work good with a big cam.
Manual good: Simple and trouble free. You can step harder on the pedal without locking
the brakes and it gives a better feel. More room to work in engine compartment.
Manual bad: Takes more effort to press the pedal. You have to work under the dash to
replace the master cylinder.
