Re: Power brakes with manual transmission

I have power disc brakes on my "54 3100 and I have a manual Borg Warner 5 speed, but I don't have 4WD or a V8. It works great. So the manual trans shouldn't bother you. It may be another case with a transfer case, a V8, and 4WD extras. look into getting an add on adjustable rear proportioning valve. Most proportioning valves in the kits are for cars, not empty bed, lite in the rear old trucks. Mine is made by Wilwood, & I can dial the rear brakes down. I found out the hard way, the truck traded ends coming into a busy 4 way light after a drizzle. Thank God, Jesus was with me that day. When your done try your brakes on a wet street and check for rear wheel lock up. Thanks to all of you for the info on the booster filter, I'll pick one up.
