Not sure if it was mentioned but when I did my brake swap and the 1st time I drove it the brakes locked up before I got out of the driveway. he rod that goes to the power brake booster is adjustable and I needed to back mine off some as it was keeping pressure on the brakes. I re-drilled the hole for the Master cylinder to bolt to the brake peddle to make it sit a lot lower also so I don't know if that made a difference. Since I also swapped to an Automatic I wanted to be able to just shift my foot to hot the brakes without having to lift it up off the floor. I like it a lot like that.

Hey since you took that drum brake master cyl off, are you in the market to get rid of it? I'm collecting parts I need for my frame up resto on my 69.
