Manual vs power brakes?
Currently I’m doing a LS swap on my 67 camaro. The car has 6 piston wilwoods up front and 4 piston on the rear. Before the LS I had a big block in it creating 14-15 inches of vacuum with a dual diaphragm booster with a 1 inch MC. With a stock style proportioning valve. I had too many close calls with this setup. Also can never get the wheels to lock up. I was thinking of getting a 1-1/8 wilwood or baer MC with a adjustable proportioning valve or the Detroit speed setup that I’ve seen mark stielow use. But I’ve seen a lot guys on here have great success with a manual brake setup. 7/8 or 15/16 MC seems to be the route many you are taking. Pedal feel? What’s your guy’s opinion? Im open minded. Either or I’m gonna have to redo the hard lines. This is a street car. Thanks.
