Anybody running disc brakes without vacuum boost / power assist?
I'm swapping my '51 half ton to 11" discs on the front, using the kit from CPP. Would I be NUTS to use a manual master cylinder, instead of power brakes? CPP does sell a manual cylinder (4756MMK2). This is $100 or so cheaper than their boosted kit, looks like a simpler install, and I wouldn't have to worry about the booster failing (ever), or vacuum levels if I decide to install a wicked cam in my V8.
Thanks,
mark.
