Scarebird brake kits
« on: March 06, 2008 - 10:22:35 PM »
I am thinking about switching the drum brakes on my 70 Cuda with the scarebird kit and was wondering a couple of things.  How many of you guys are running the scarebird kit?  The brackets they have use the calipers for a Cuda from Napa, Auto Zone, etc.  What about the prop valve and master cylinder?  I have a big cam and have to use a manual master cylinder.  Any reccomendations on where to purchase the prop valve and master cylinder?  Does this set up work OK without a power booster?

Thanks,
Mike

it will work fine without power booster
I use a 74 Dart Manual disc brake master cylinder , this should be available from any local parts store
I use a Wilwood adjustable prop valve in the rear brake line only
I have not heard anything bad about the Scarebird kits

I installed one of the first A body kits (going on 2 years now) and not a problem one! I replaced the master with the non power rebuilt one for front disc ($26) and still using the original proportioning valve without any problems. I have less than $250 in the conversion and hoping to do the rears this summer
