Power Disc Brakes to Manual Disc Brakes ???

hmmmmm, mine didnt have power brakes and the pedal comes down on the right(passenger)side of the colum, it lines up to the booster just like stock.

 

Apparently the Mav P/B setup is a albatross and of no use in a manual or aftermarket booster swap...

 

Bingo we have a winner. the stock power brake pedal is the only one that hangs on the left or drivers side of the steering column so it aligns with the angled stock booster and master cylinder. aftermarket setups and manual setups go in straight so the brake pedal arm has to be on the right

 

I love your answer. In my case too much information is dangerous.
74 parts on the 77 -- here we go. Gotta love a parts car.
Thanks guys I do appreciate your help.

 

Thats funny s%%t!!! You wanna see a parts car? Come check out the stuff I build, funny.

 

I made the switch today, using the brake pedal and the pedal bracket from my 74 manual brake parts car, just as Dave suggested. It was very easy to see the angle difference in the two brackets once they were side by side on the bench.

 

See? Ya learned somethin' new.

 

I learn a lot about Mavericks on this forum and I do appreciate the feed back. My problem is that at my age, I forget what I learned before I get a chance to make it happen.

 

Where did u get your booster

 

To the original poster, John W. I don't understand why you don't have room for the original booster. Your car came with a 302 and you're installing another 302. The trick flow heads should have the same dimensions as the original heads unless you've got something special. Do you have extra large valve covers or something?

 

From ebay, its a seven inch single diaphram........http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-STREET-RO...rg=20140602152332&rk=1&rkt=10&sd=140943862505

 

I've bought one of those MC and will use the '71 GT parts car for trial & error fit... Once I figure it out I'll modify the '72...

 

55, that looks more factory than the factory. This is how Ford should have done it in the first place. I have a 75 with factory PB, but it looks so rigged that I am considering doing this just to get it to sit straight behind the shock tower. Is the bracket that holds the brake pedal bolt or weld to the firewall inside the car?

 

My pedal support is bolted just like factory, the only difference is you need to use a different upper bolt with a smaller head on it. I have been using a tapered head bolt with an allen wrench head on it. Works fine.
