    what (w/pics) are the different brake arm styles w/automatic transmission?
    ...floor shift /column shift...

    drum-drum
    disc-drum


    i want to change the ratio on my pedal and was wondering if one of the stock arms would have the ratio i'm looking for.
    Jeff measured his...'74 drum-drum, it's the same as my '73 disc-drum.

    thanks...:Handshake

    Are you looking to increase or decrease effort?

    measure from the bottom of the mounting pin (at the top) to the center of the brake pad
    (or pad mounting plate).

    The power brake pedals don't fit a manual brake pedal hanger. Completely different. That much I do know.

    I have a pedal pulled, from a 73 drum/drum car, if you want me to measure it.
