Currently i have non power drum brakes in my '73 which id like to convert over to some sort of power brakes.

If i go power drum, what exactly would i need to swap out? would i simply be to replace the master cylinder or is there more invloved.

As for converting to power disk brakes, i know there are quite a few things that need to be swapped.


So which route would be best?

You need a new power booster, not a new MC. You will also need to change the brake pedal to a power pedal.
