hey guys, i need more stopping power on my 85 race car. my engine doesn't make nearly enough vacuum to run the power brakes and it feels near impossible to stop. i also have a 28 spline ford 9 in the car with crown victoria disc brakes on the rear. i know i can use the master cylinder for the 3rd gens that came with rear disc but will it work if i remove the booster? or is there a better master cylinder to use? i want to keep the costs down also and fab what i can myself (as far as brackets etc.) thanks for any help...

 

i put a strange master on mind with a wilwood adj prop valve to the rear disc. stops fine. You do have to fab up a bracket though to mount it to the firewall.

 

Kens86... What size of bore strange mastercylinder did you go with?

i purchased a strange 1.125 m/c from ed quay, and i sent my pedal to them for modification too.)I'm running the 1.125 with the stock 1le front and rear brakes and it dosnt want to stop very well. damn scary actually.

 

i have the smaller one. i believe it's the 1.031. it stops fine but you do definitly have to pay attention while driving. i have stock 86 camaro front brakes and rear disc brakes off a 94 camaro. i'm a big guy, 6.6/300lbs, so pushing the is much of a problem. i wish i would have known about the Ed Quay kit before i did mine. i had to fab everything myself.

 

thanks kens86. I am trying a 1.031 m/c from a 78 dodge aspen 6cyl 1bbl.

we will see how it works.
