max wedge manifolds/vacuume booster

[hacksaw]

got the max wedge manifolds i wanted for my 62 dart. then it hit me... can i run power brakes and a dual pot master with them??

When you say 'booster', I presume you mean a conventional vacuum booster, not a hydroboost.
Other than the physical mounting, it will depend on the engine vacuum.

not worryed about vac.. im wondering about the space for it. i know its kinda close to the single pot master and ya have to make the line go around the manifold. the booster and master will add about 4-5 in to where the end of the master will be.

My guess, it should be a concern, and I don't know.
Me personally, I would give up the power brakes before I would ditch those exhaust manifolds.

ya... would hate to do it. but .....

Hmm. Never had a muscle car with power brakes.

Not sure if these will help to determine clearance ? This is a '63 sedan, and newer dual pot MC...

I'd rather run a dual master no power than power with a single master.

Power brakes and max wedges go together like mustard on ice cream.

 

[BSB67]

Wait, are you saying you don’t like mustard on ice cream?

Hot dog flavored Ice Cream I suppose?

If you need power brakes there is something wrong with your brakes or your leg. Find the problem and fix that not cover it up with a booster.

I can't speak for other regions but around here it's a no- go

You might be able to do it, if you use the raised bracket and master cylinder used on Hemi cars with power brakes.

There was also one used on 70's A-bodies that a friend of mine used on a 383 Dart he built...

 

[hacksaw]

the dart was a power brake car to start with.... but looking at the pic looks like it ain't going to happen.

It will not work. Even when my buddy had Max Wedge manifolds on his 63 Sport Fury with manual drum brakes. The manifold was so close to his master cylinder that he had to make a heat shield. When he converted it to front power disc brakes he had to remove the Max Wedge manifolds and put on some 68-70 h.p. manifolds.
