Hi,

I have a 66 with a 289, non power drum brakes, non power steering, automatic. I want to replace my single master cylinder with a later model dual master cylinder (for safety reasons). Some time in the future, I would like to add disk brakes, and perhaps add power to those disk brakes.

Is there a dual master cylinder that I could buy and install now on my non-power drum/drum setup, that would be applicable when I make the switch to disk, or even power-disk, sometime in the futer.

And is there anything else that I have to change? Thanks

if you are planning a swap to power brakes, do so now and change the m/c at the same time. you can use a disc/drum m/c on the power booster with an add on residual check valve(10 psi) on the disc side untill you swap to disc brakes at which time you remove the check valve.
