I got all my components lined up and ready to go. I have a GM vacuum pump to hook up... gonna place it near the rear end to be discrete... hopefully it doesn't make too much noise. I looked and looked and could not find a Bendix style linkage so I am using a modified linkage at the moment. Can anyone tell me where to find a Bendix part? Now going from manual to power with a different prop valve (actually from a '72 I believe), I should still be able to use my current brake lines, right? Can they be tweaked to fit (without crimping?)?

Wow!  sounds like you got a nice project going!  Looks like you know what you're doing!

Needless to say, but I'll say it any way.  After your done, make sure they work!  Fix it so it brakes!

Keep us posted on the progress!

I know IN THEORY what I am doing from talking to other folks. We'll see if I really do.

Okay... I need some help... but I don't wanna type it all out again. I am not sure if this is a "no-no" or what, but I am just gonna post a link to the Moparts thread where I have the pics posted... please take a look over there and see if you can help me. I hope I can get the parts I need and get this back together before the Houston Autorama as I have already paid the fee!
