HH56,

I, like Craig, am very satisfied with the new brake system as installed. The required pedal pressure is satisfactory and can easily lock-up all 4 wheels. That is even with keeping the original drum brakes. The point at which the brake pedal normally stops the car is where I would expect it to be. Not too high, where the wheels suddenly lock-up, or too low, where there is not enough travel to actually stop the car. The pedal position is slightly lower, but it is easily adjusted to.

I'm no expert, as you can tell, but I would recommend the same equipment (7" dual diaphragm booster and dual-chambered m/c) and installation.
