Manual Brakes

Southern_Hospitality · 03-19-2008, 03:37 PM

Question: I have manual brakes (drums) on my 71 Cutty and Im use to power brakes on today's cars. My mechanic mentioned that I could get a power brake booster which would be more effective. Is this true or will I need to do a conversion to disk brakes?
