Power brake booster and M/C

[MaSnaka]

James,
I had front disc brakes from either a Mustang II or a Pinto, maybe one in the same and drums in the rear with no booster when I first bought my car. I upgraded the fronts to Wilwood 11" (which were about 20lbs lighter per wheel) and kept the rear drums in place for a future project as funds would allow. My breaking ability improved greatly with the upgrade to the front brakes alone. Eventually I did replace the drums with Wilwood 11" discs, a new MC , an adjustable proportioning valve and still no booster. I cant say there was a big difference in stopping ability switching from rear drums to rear discs but they sure look better. I'm sure if I ever got my car onto a track and really put the brakes to task there would be a noticeable improvement but so far just a street cruiser. No booster but I did find there are two different pivot points for the pedal ratio power vs. manual in the pedal box. Of course mine was wrong and I had to change it which made a huge difference in the pedal pressure required to stop hard.
