non power brake?

I am looking at running disc drum but I don't want to put the big ugly booster on the firewall I like the clean look of just the master cylinder. My question is can I run an aftermarket master like wilwood from speedway for dirt car and proportion valve? BTW its a 65 chevy truck.

Re: non power brake?

I don't see why not, as long as you get one with a big enough bore to operate the calipers. You could also use an OEM type for say a '69 to mid 70's pickup with manual brakes. I've seen non power brakes up to '74.

Accually, you need a small bore MC. About a 1". For a manual MC, you need a small bore to get the 1000 or so psi to operate the disc brakes.

Call Master Power Brakes. they can hook you up. Also you can find a lot of info at their web site.http://www.mpbrakes.com/
