Brakes, original drum

[Iowa 409 Guy]

FYI I went with the safety factor of dual cylinders.

I would check to look for the adjustors on your brakes. they are curved metal plates on each wheel with springs mounted on them
Here is the front and rear conversion kit from Schaffer for many years -the plates and springs are in the picture.

I would like to see an original looking Master Cylinder that is a dual. Even if they had to make it a little bigger for it to work correctly. Then other than the proportioning valve, it would look pretty original, yet with the safety implemented.

By the way, no Discs for me. Original Drums all the way around, lol.

(I'm not planning on any Road Course racing, lol).

The master cylinder for a full size 1967 Chevrolet with drum brakes is supposed to fit. The only issue is making sure that the piston depth is correct, compared to the original single master cylinder. I looked up the dual master cylinder on Rock Auto for a 67 Chevy Impala and the drum brake master cylinder is the same with or without power brakes. I personally have not done this conversion but I think the depth in the piston is the same. I just cannot recall where I came across this information. Might have been here.

Where is Mike (1958 Delivery) on all this?

I ended up buying new master cylinder, single reservoir and staying drum for now, if i upgrade I'll buy a whole kit and do it all at once, thank you for all the info.
