I would like to add a power brake booster to my 69 Special Deluxe. Has manual brakes along with a 400 eng. from a 69 Sportwagon. I have the booster form the Sportwagon, & the proportioning valve is around here ..... Is there anything else I need/do to make this conversion? Thanks, Mike 69 Special Deluxe 2dr. 400 & thm400 68 Special Deluxe wagon
Need these items from power brake car: Booster, Vacuum line and fitting at intake manifold, Brake master cylinder, Brake lines, Prop. valve. All lines going out of the old prop. may or may not work with new valve.
i am adding the other possibilities if u are not converting from drum to disk brakes , in concert with jerry's response . if your car already has drum brakes , all u need would be the power booster & extension brake lines from the master cylinder to the distribution valve (not proportioning valve) . if u already have disk brakes , then the same scenario applies except the extension brake lines route from the master cylinder to the proportioning valve . of course u will need a vacuum line & fitting from the booster to the intake manifold , for either option ..
The car has aluminum drums on the front. The 400 eng.came out of the same Sportwagon that the brake booster I plan to use came from. Also have the vacuum line & fitting & the distribution valve. Looks like I'm ready to get to work. Thanks
