power or manual brakes

Another thing is does your wife and or girl friend or girl friends :) Ever drive that car? Even if its just once in a great while you should keep the power brakes. I had some Close Calls but luckly was able to stop or swere while braking, not so luckly in staying in control or not seeing a stop sign in a 55 mph zone :sad:

I have had vehicles with power brakes that required as much effort on the pedal as my 68 does with manual disk brakes. I am a big proponent of power assit when it make a difference in the performance of the vehicle. For example if this discussion was on power steering verse manual I would be blowing the hron for power but in the case of power disk brakes on an A-body IMHO anyone that hasn't got the strength to safety operate the brakes probally should be driving period.

Certainly my wife has no issues with the brakes but she won't drive the car without power steering.
