In high school I had a 390 fastback mustang with manual drum brakes. Lot of fun using two feet standing on the brake pedal trying to do a high speed stop. Wish I would have done a conversion.
@@AlfsMustangGarage one of my biggest regrets in life was selling that mustang so I could get married. I sold it for $500. As a roller. So I could get married to my now ex wife.😭
I work at a parts store and I had a customer wanting to go back to factory brakes with the single master cylinder, and use it as regular driver. I convinced him to stay with the upgrade.
Oh ya thats good. These upgrades are great and I would only suggest against it if it's a car being restored to original condition with the intention to take to car shows.
Hello. I have a question for you. I am installing a power brake booster upgrade to my 1967 Mustang. I have a copy of the original Ford power brake install kit instructions. In these instructions it says to drill out the existing nuts using a .64 diameter drill bit (this would be about a 5/8 drill bit), however in another set of instructions that I have for a power booster kit it says to drill the holes out to 5/16 of an inch. That is quite the difference in hole sizes. Plus the 5/16 does not make much of a difference in opening up the size in the original nuts. The question then is should I follow the ford instructions, or will this make the holes to large for a good fit of the booster? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Amateur here. I'm converting my front drums to discs on my 64 Ranchero. I purchased a conversion kit that included a double chamber master cylinder attached to a vacuum power booster. The problem is that there is no space because the mast cylinder hits the shock tower. Would it be prudent to just remove the power booster? As is, I'm already upgrading from a single chamber to a double chamber master cylinder so I believe it to be a step up. Please help
… if you look from the inside where the Brakepedal is there should be an indent for the larger hole for the cars that were delivered with a brakebooster so easy to see where to cut and enlarge the opening for the pushrod etc. !! 😉
Yes!! Another quality video with good content and awesome gloves!

Oh wow that sounds awesome, I assume you no longer have the car?

Oh man that sounds awful!!! Story of our lives - if we knew then what we know now! Right?
@@AlfsMustangGarage yup
I had a 71 Torino 351C drums all around... Yep, 2 feet on the brake while pulling on the steering wheel!
Great video, I just purchased Leeds kit for my 1967 LTD, power disc brake conversion.
Oh awesome. Ya they make great kits.
Awesome video! Can you post the link of where you got the aftermarket bracket?

I would say it's always easier to take more metal out then to add some back in. Start small and if that doesn't work, go bigger till it does work.
@@AlfsMustangGarage Thank you that is good advice. I will take my time enlarging the holes until a good fit is obtained.
Sounds good 👍

Oh right on. I'll have to look for that on the next one 👍
Is there no seal between the brake booster and the firewall?
1000 subs by next week?
can you do one with a 200 inline 6
Absolutely. As soon as someone hires me to do one.
