Re: Have a few questions about brakes
I used some Wilwoods on my '68 mostly because I found a good used set of street brakes for the front that I wanted in case I put the car back on the road. I used drag race brakes for the rear and their master cylinder.

Re: Have a few questions about brakes
I have had Strange and Wilwood on the rear of my 68 and both did the job well. Front is a different issue. First kit was Wilwood street that converted the drum front spindle to disc and worked well when the car was street/strip. Strange stopped better but didn't release the caliper like expected. I currently have dropped all my pennies on Baer SS4 Staging Brakes and they look good but haven't had a full season on them yet.
Manual or Power? I gave up trying to get my 75 yo leg to go manual and am returning to power with a Leeds MC. The whole MC thing is a big pile of math. You need to know the number of pistons and area per caliper as well as the bore of the MC to correctly select a good caliper/MC combo. Look up how to choose a brake system for drag racing or master cylinder math on the net. Here's a link to Mark Williams https://www.markwilliams.com/braketech.html

Re: Have a few questions about brakes
This question comes along every now and then...
I think this really is about what you are willing to pay and maybe get someone else to endorse a cheaper alternative for those asking about this.. I don't think there is any argument about the ranking: 1 LAMB - No Comparison 2 M/W 3 Non 4 pick your choice
