Help with Master cylinder and Brake Booster Sizing
 
So I am planning to swap to a Corvette 13 inch front brake setup and eventually ad rears as well on my 64 El Camino . My current brake booster and M/C is giving me problems so it needs replaced prior to the spring driving season . I am leaning towards keeping it a power brake setup mainly because its primarily a street driven vehicle but could be persuaded to go straight non power brakes . Since it is currently a front disk rear drum setup and will probably remain that way for a while I am thinking of a disk/disk Master cylinder setup with a proportioning valve so that I can eventually convert the rears to disk . Just curious what Master cylinder (size and brand) and power brake booster (size and brand) you all would recommend . Also curious what your thoughts as far as whether you would go power brakes or manual and why ?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide .

If you decide to go manual, Wilwood 7/8" bore works great with the Corvette calipers. I love my manual brakes. Don't forget about moving the actuator rod to the manual position on the pedal if you got that way.
On the power option, I'd call Tobin and tell him what you have and what you want to do. He's the man.

Good luck Mike!

You don't happen to have a resource to show me what I am looking for to move the actuator rod ?
