WANTED 65-68 Power Disc Brake Pedal Assembly And Firewall Support Plate

[65Polara500]

Looking to swap my manual drum to power front disc and need the power disc brake pedal assembly and the firewall support plate from 65-68. Also looking for disc booster and master cylinder 65-68.

Know that there is no difference in pedal assemblies between power drums and power discs - the only difference is power brakes to manual brakes. Might help you widen your search.

Master cylinder for discs in 66 is a single reservoir with a reservoir capacity extension. Single pot, not desireable for safety. Look for dual reservoir disc master for 67 - 73. All will bolt up and work.

Booster will be a challenge to find, but not impossible. 65-68 Bendix dual diaphragm for discs. However, if your car is a console shift car, then your range of choices widens to include the later style (wider and not so deep front to back) single diaphragm disc boosters up to 73. If your car is a column shift, those later boosters interfere with column shift linkages.

Here is something that may be an option... personally I prefer the factory engineered stuff, but hey, worth checking out:

... If your car is a column shift, those later boosters interfere with column shift linkages.

IIRC, the later boosters will work with column shift, except that you might not get the shifter down into 1st, possibly 2nd also.
So that may not be an issue for some driving styles.

Correct - that is the extent of the "interference". I'm the guy who wrote the articles.

These should be 65 Fury Power (they are labeled as such). I had the booster laying around from that car for a long time, but may have chucked it. I will look around. $50 plus actual shipping fro the pedal. I am assuming you don't want a manual trans setup - those are a hens tooth.
