I have a 67 with manual drum brakes. And I have a 68 parts car with power discs. I plan to swap the entire 68 power disc system over to the 67. Do I need the 68 brake pedal for this conversion?
Thanks,

Yes you will need the 68 brake pedal along with the spindles, caliper, MC, booster, rotors, brake lines & porporting valve (maybe more).

I second that. The PB pedal is quite a bit different than a manual. The pivot point is further away from the MC pushrod so you dont have as much leverage. If you use the manual pedal with power brakes, I understand that your brakes will be touchy and very difficult to modulate. Something a few people like to do is install the '68 collapsing steering column as well. You have to change to the '68 the steering box to do so, though.

That's what I thought. Just wanted to confirm. Thanks.
Edbert, The pedal in my 67 with manual brakes appears to have the same curve and the 68 pedal with power discs. I think someone was just misinformed in that other thread.

I dont even know anymore.
I didnt do any research on the PB pedals. Either people dont know what they're talkng about or Ford used a mishmash of different parts.

Almost.
you might need some fittings.
I did a Drum to Disc swap on my 67 to a 68/69 and I needed 1/4 to 3/8 brake fittings
I worte all about the swap on this thread, it was not a power swap though.
