Re: 1972 Brake change

The booster and such should be fine. You might want to change over to a Corvette master cylinder combo/prop valve so that you get the proper bias for the front/rear system now.

What rear brakes/system did you go with?

Re: 1972 Brake change

As Zeke said booster should be fine but you likely need a disc/disc master cylinder. Either aftermarket or Corvette (ie: 1970 Corvette with disc/disc). Get the combo valve from that setup as well, and add a proportioning valve on the rear (since your weight bias is likely different than that of a Corvette).

That's what I have on my 2+2, and it works. Check the master cyl bore size though, you don't want to go too different. I think I actually may have a mismatch between the cylinder bore and the wheel cylinders, so watch for that.
