New here and looking forward to learning a lot.
1967 Barracuda Notchback with manual brakes. Does anyone know if I could use a 1970 Dart booster & master to convert to power brakes?
Thanks

welcome!

the short answer is yes. it's a little more nuanced than that, but it's doable. post up your question to the brakes forum for a more detailed response.
 
I would discourage you from doing that, rather, fix or upgrade the actual brakes. If the brakes are larger than 9" perhaps the lining is glazed or poorly fitted, etc. By going to larger brakes or front disks, you get way more than just power brakes. My legs are not that strong. When my Dart was alive, I converted it to factory 73/74 Dart/ Duster disk brakes on front. Not necessary, but I also scored a disk brake rear out of a Versaille. No power brakes and I could lock those up no problem at 70 on the freeway.
