Master Cylinder w/o booster?

Can I use a disc brake master cylinder (that was intended to be used with a booster) on my car which has manual brakes (no booster)?  Do I have to do anything special to mount/use it?  Thanks!

I am pretty sure you can, you would just need the correct studs or bolts to attach the master cyl to the firewall.  Im pretty sure that our mod,Chris Giardina (just6t9charger) had this set up before he put the correct power disc set up onto his car.

Drums use the same, 72 had manual disk, the master has a longer travel, a one year deal.  :scratchchin:

Humm, so would a '72 M/C work in my '68?

Correct, after flopping around with various clueless suppliers I found "The Ramman" on ebay not only knew what I was talking about he had one and specializes in Mopar brakes. I'll see if I can find a link.

Wayne is a very good guy.  Talked to him a couple times over the phone and also had questions for him last year at Carlisle.  VERY knowledgeable.
