Hemi brake question

[Mike Whissel]

I know that on a power brake system it has special offset brackets and booster to clear valve cover.. my question..... on a manual system was it all the same since no booster to clear.....

I have a 71 Cuda with manual brakes, and all standard master cylinders fit with my Gen 2 hemi. No offset needed. I do have the newer aluminum M/C that Mopar used to sell.

Do you have front disc

 

[tonysrt]

Yes I do. I used the Chrysler parts to convert from drums to the 77 cordoba discs, A body spindles and the sliding calipers. Car stops great. Stock Drums on the rear. Car was original 383 Cuda so had big brakes to begin with.

Could you get a Hemi with manual brakes?

 

[tonysrt]

Power brakes were optional with all engines. Not mandatory with Hemi. So unless you paid extra for Power brakes when ordering car, you got manual brakes. I have my Hemi 15 years without P/B, just remember to hit brake harder when slowing down.
