Brake Booster

5F09C_old · October 2, 2007 at 7:11 PM

I have seen a few pictures of K 64 1/2 and early 65 cars with a Power brake booster with a standard master cylinder.

Since disc brakes were not available in 64 or early 65 AND the power brake option was only available on auto trannys (according to the research that I have found) what is the correct brake set up?

Also can a power booster be used with a clutch? Assuming you don't have disc brakes.

Power brakes were available with manual trans cars in 65.My 4,500 mile A code 4 speed coupe is so equiped.

Mke, Wow only 4500 miles! Can you supply a few pictures of the engine bay. Always nice to see one with such low mileage.

Thanks,

Gary

Power Brakes were not available on K-Codes. Both Manual and Disc Brakes (optional, standard if GT) were offered, but not Power Boosted.
