Poor Braking

Post by Slgolden0 »

New guy here, just picked up a 69 F-100 with cv swap front and rear with discs all the way around. I noticed that the braking is actually pretty poor. I have stiff pedal, It just seems to take a while to stop. Does the brake booster and MC need changed out as well when the discs go in?

If you have 4 wheel discs and are still using the stock '69 drum brake m/c then yes, you need to upgrade the m/c and add a proportioning valve to your brake system.
