There is no real reason to have power brakes if your car stops adequately. My '29 had disc brakes up front and drum brakes on the rear, and I did not run a power booster. It stopped fine, and I did not have any issues with pedal pressure. I have power front brakes on my '32, and quite frankly, they don't work any better or worse that the brakes on my '29.
You may have some balance issues between front and rear, and you may need to play with the adjustment on your proportioning valve.Last edited by rumrumm; 02-10-2012 at 10:08 AM.
