Alright last year I swap manual disc brakes onto my 66 chevelle, now im thinking about putting rear disc brakes on. Can I leave them manual or do I have to go to power brakes???

On a nose heavy car (and most all cars) the rear brakes do so little work I would assume your plan to change the rear won't significantly alter pedal effort. You will be loosing the benefit if the drums servo action, but you already lost that on the fronts - where it would make more difference IMHO... just my $0.02.

We run manual discs on both our Chevelles and have zero problems. 7/8" bore master cylinder for us.
