Sadly the member that posted this on youtube removed it,sharing it has helped a lot of guys over the years we thank him for sharing it while it lasted but sure wish he would have left it up.[/FONT]
· [FONT="]This may help in the meantime see post #6 here [/FONT][FONT="]https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/tonight-i-am-not-happy.1103171/#post-12515347[/FONT][FONT="] with a 1952-56 you will need a 20" section of 3/16" brake line for the new line you will be adding and some adapter fittings.[/FONT]
[FONT="]If you convert the '56 to disc brakes it may work if it will line up with the mounting holes in the firewall,if you are going to keep the drum brakes you will need to install a proportioning valve in the system to work with the 1990 master cyl.[/FONT]
[FONT="]if going with the power booster kit . get a double diaphram booster not a single.[/FONT]
