Power vs. Manual Disc Brakes?

[msbaugh]

I know i dont have a b-body, but I will someday soon. My absolute favorite cars ever.

But anyways, on my 70 chally i have front and back manual drum brakes...
I am converting to discs in the front and was wondering what yalls experiences have been? power disc or manual discs?

Im young, so I dont mind stepping on the brake a little harder. I just want to minimize cost, and keep it simple.

Pros and cons?

I would go with manual.

I had manual drum/drum on my 70 Road Runner, went with manual disk/drum swapping the front spindles and brakes off a 74 Dart. No problems.

Same here, except my spindles came from a 75 Dart (same part.) I used 11.75inch late 70's factory rotors, with Wilwood calipers.
So far no problems. I actually prefer having a firmer pedal.

On my 64 Dart I went to frt disc and upgraded to a 2 res manual unot from a 70 dart. Works fine, effort is not that bad, in fact I like the feel too.

I went with an adjustable proportiing mopar valve for the 10.5 rear drums I installed.

I like manual everything! Even the tach was mechanical on my last race car....
