Power brake question
What do most people think about power brakes? I mean is power brakes necessary? My Camaro is a 383 4 speed. I'm not going to be going to the drag strip, doing any cones, just driving it. Do you guys and gals think a manual setup is ok? If so what master cylinder do you suggest? I have converted it to 4 wheel disc brakes, aftermarket, but like stock. Nothing exotic.
Thanks,
Carl

Power/Vac assist, Hydro assist, manual... all braking options, nothing more to light duty vehicles. It all depends on if it's setup right.

The motor is built and the sub-frame has been completely disassembled, sand blasted, painted with Imron, and everything replaced there, It's supposed to be headed to paint prison in a couple of weeks. Got a lot to go but come a long way so far. I never dreamed it would take as long as it has. Between money and work it has though.
How is yours doing? weren't you going to move to Memphis? Or am I thinking about someone else?

Andrew,
Just went to your photobucket site, I guess that answers "how are you coming on yours" huh? Looking good! I'm going to have to get you to show me how to set up album pages in photobucket and I will start putting my pics up. I have posted some pictures but only about 4 or 5. Your link looks pretty good.
