master cylinder discussion

i saw this discussed a while back and i saw twisted posed about using a manual chevy master cyl. my question is will it give me enough umph to run my front and rear disk brakes.. what is the pedal feel like with manual brakes i have no idea..thanks in advance.

well i just did a little research and found altough its not the best idea i can be done.. i really have NO room for a booster either under the dash or on the firewall so i was thinkin i could run two manual masters linked paralell one for the front and one for the back..

scratch that...no room either...will one suffice?

If you have 4 wheel discs, I would call up Wilwood and tell them you need a manual master cylinder for 4 wheel discs. They will set you up with the right stuff, and their manual masters are about $75 alone. They double if you want one with a pedal assembly.

Anything you buy at the store will be for drum/drum or disc/drum. They didn't really run manual brakes a 4 wheel disc cars, but Wilwood makes it possible, and safe.

It will stop fine, but you will have a stiff pedal. At first it will feel STIFF, then your leg will get used to it and be no problem. I daily drove a manual 67 Mustang for a while, once you get used to it its easy. But when you get into something with power you stop short for a few miles.

Also, look into Hydroboost. Its a lot more money, but works just as well as a boosted system, but takes up the space of a manual system.

sweet man yea wiilwwod why diddn't i think of that. good call...im a get out the summit catalog now thanks for the help..

I would actually call Wilwood, or an authorized Wilwood specialist about it. Tell them 4 wheel discs, on about a 3000 LB vehicle, length of your pedal, number of pistons on the calipers, etc. Then they will match you with the right one. I would ask for that PN, and then order that from Summit if their prices are better than the specialist, or Willwood direct.

yea i will man... im gonna go with one of their dual pedal assembly's matched with whatever masters they recommend i need .... so sick..
