73 Manual Brakes???

[djdmotorsports]

Hey everyone,

Was looking over my ole 73 a couple weekends ago planning out all the parts i needed to buy, happened to notice the non exsistant brake booster. I havent touched the brake system at all, doubt the last owner did... was it common for 73's to be ordered with manual brakes??? i cant seem to find any info anywhere for it other than i can buy a replacement manual master cyl.

Any info would be appriciated,

DJ

Most people don't use the power booster.  Even with discs brakes it's not needed.
You get more "feel" with the non-assisted brakes.

Yes, '73 and '74 all have disc brakes but some came without the power boaster. I love my manual discs. The pedal is super firm of course but you get used to it quickly and it gives you the feeling you can stop like a go-cart!!

Also the spongy "Cordova" one second and the next second your locked up sensation is gone.

Total control stopping IMO
