After using both power disk brakes with the booster and non power disk brakes with no booster, what I want to know is 2 things, how the heck can you get RID of that useless booster to go manual non power disks, and is there a difference between a power disk booster master cylinder and non power disk brake master cylinder as all my cars have cams with long durations so they have next to NO VACUM, plus I flat out HATE THE LACK OF FEEL AT THE PEDLE OF POWER BRAKES Regardless! If you ever plan on really driving the hell out of your bird on as road course, ( as I do ) you understand power brakes are just a toy, and truth be told REEEEEEALLY suck as the vacuum can never recover quick enough when your on & off the brakes in a millisecond over & over in hot heavy traffic.
Hello sir I have a 76 .. how did you get your break booster off ? I am in the process of removing my entire fender at this point because I can’t get my wrenches in there
I found you from the Firebird Facebook group, Great video! The only omission I see was failing to mention that the 2 different hole positions on the pedal are for Power vs. non power. The upper hole gives you more leverage for non power and puts the master cyl. level. The second and lower hole almost lined up with the brake light switch is for less leverage on power setups and puts the booster and master at an angle.
The slant on the master cylinder makes me wonder if the break pedal rod is on a slant into the booster
I just noticed 454 subscribers, is that a magic number?
If you showed it I missed it. But what about installing the other three nuts that mount the booster to the firewall studs?
No need to change the proportioning valve in the swap to disc?
