Okay I decided to go with a fromn crossmember swap toupgrade to disc brakes. So what are my choices for a power brake master/bosster assembley; and yes I have a hydrolic clutch. Is the classic performance parts master/bosster asee,bley the only one on the market? At $450.00 that seems steep; any alternatives?

Check out Master Power brakes www.mpbrakes.com
also Engineered Components, Inc. www.ecihotrodbrakes.com for information on boosters and combinations.

Just a thought....are you sure you want to go the power booster route with your system. I'm very happy with the mid-70's Corvette manual Master cylinder, in both disc/drum and disc/disc configurations. I have power discs on my hot rod truck and find that they are a bit twitchy. My 54-3100 manual brakes with front discs are very predictable. The underfloor power booster/crossmember interference issues are something to consider. Check out these sites as well as www.911brakes.com and you might get a better response if you included a little more information on your application. Hope this helps.

I used the booster/master from a 1980 C10-had to drill a few holes but two lined up. Brian

so what choices do I have for a clutch master cylinder?

I would suggest since you need to retain the clutch set-up,that just removing the residual valve from the "brake side" of the stock master cylinder,then plumbing the frt. brakes from the tee forward with 3/16"line, may be a solution. As Fla54Chevy3100 has said,Non-power disc have a great feel and work good. I realize that going Dual line master cylinder is by far safer in the event of master cylinder failure but I put many,many miles on my 54' single line master cylinder with disc/drum combo brakes.You might also want to plumb in a pressure regulator valve on the rear brakes.
