Re: Mustang 5.0 Stocker brake pressure
Probably getting harder to find now, but when I was building my 85 Mustang, I found a stock 4 banger early Fox Mustang with manual brakes, and removed the factory brake pedal, aluminum master cylinder and mounting plate, along with the longer lines from the master cylinder to the distribution valve, and it has been working great for over 10 years now. I got my manual steering rack the same way.I just let the Ford engineers do the calculations.

Re: Mustang 5.0 Stocker brake pressure
I used a mid 80s Ford Ranger master cylinder, 15/16" ,and a modified brake pedal from Baer ,with a pushrod that is slightly curved. what is nice about the ranger master cylinder, the lines are on the fender side, instead of being in the way.

Re: Mustang 5.0 Stocker brake pressure
Bobby, I think your dad has my caliper pressure gauge (plus my valve spring tester for that matter - lol ) - have you checked pressure?

Re: Mustang 5.0 Stocker brake pressure
Redrill your brake pedal so your pedal ratio is 5:1 put a .750 MC on it and you'll have right at 10000lbs. Brake line pressure

Re: Mustang 5.0 Stocker brake pressure
My master cylinder support. Once I had the pedal ratio squared away, the firewall was not happy with the new found pedal pressure. Hey even the COPO's need a master cylinder brace.
