My buddy has an '81 Camaro race car he's converted to manual brakes, but has problems with low pedal and getting the car stopped. It has factory front disc brakes and factory drum rears. When he removed the power brake booster, he replaced the original master cylinder with several others he tried, ending up with a 1 1/8" bore Wilwood on the car now, hoping the extra volume would help. Apparently the m/cyl mounting is different from manual to power brakes so he's using the upper hole in the pedal to line up with the m/cyl. rod. Has anyone had these problems and figured out the fix? I'm no expert on brakes, looking for any help or advice, thanks!
