You need the '67 distribution block or fabricate a way to split the brake lines, since the '65/'66 distribution block doesn't have a provision for hooking up the other cylinder. The '66 lines won't hook up to a '67 MC, so it's best to get the '67 MC to distribution block lines, then adapt the ' 67 distribution block to the brake lines in the car.

If the car has power brakes, you can't use the '67 MC ... it won't clear the shock tower with the stock power booster.

 

'65/'66's use the same pedal for both power brakes and manual brakes ... different pushrod and MC, but the pedal is the same.

 

Correct. The Power and MAster pedals have the pushrod connect in different places, IIRC. Since all he is doing is changing one MC for another, no pedal mod is needed.

As for the proportioning valve, the factory disk MC had two lines coming out, one to the front distribution block, one to the rear. The fittings are different sizes between MC's, though.

Use the push rod from the original MC.

 

So he can use the same brake pedal? I though you needed the power pedal too. Thats what I have been told, but I hope not for his and my sake.

okay, scatch that. Just reread your post. Don't know the deal on disk brakes although I think its a similar situation.

 

No. You need the combination valve from a 67 later drum brake car otherwise you've accomplished nothing for safety. That combo valve blocks off the failed side (in a brake failure situation) so that the good side stays intack. Basically its a shuttle valve. It usually has a brake warning light switch too, which can be hooked up to a dash light.

 

I think all you have to do is use a 67 master cylinder and match your lines to it.

 

74 and up Maverick MC with disks $50+-
Two double-flared brake lines $14
Misc. Flared adapters $10
Labor to perform the Twist-O-Flex under the dash to R&R the push rod .....Priceless. A real PITA.
