My wife is studying for a test tomorrow so I'm bored.. a pick of the finished steering. Orderded a custom length splined rod rather than a generic D rod.

That Wilwood MC looks great. Have you always been running without PBs? Are you happy with this?

Yep.. I see no need for power brakes if your system is designed right. PB's were invented to help activate the brakes with less effort. This helped women and others work the braking systems easier. It's simply a force multiplier.

My '69 stopped great. You just had to push harder to get it to stop faster. the joke was:

car guy: How fast does it stop with manual brakes
me: As fast as you WANT it to stop

Plus I hate clutter and I like the more mechanical feel of manual brakes

I have been running manual brakes in my 69 and it worked fine. I am making many changes to the car right now and I was trying to decide to stick with Manual, Hydraboost or Vac..I think I will just keep it manual and see how that works out after I get back together. I really like the looks of the Wilwood MC.. I may have to spring for one of those.
