Hey there,
Just curious as to what needs to be replaced and or added to convert my manual drum braking system to power drums.
Do I just add a power booster or the power booster and a master cylinder? Proportioning valves? Any other considerations?
Thanks,
Steve

Isn't it amazing that this can be viewed 70 times and not a single solitary soul can answer it?
Laurel Mountain Mustang has the answer.

Just the power booster. As long as you still keep the same drumbrake system.

I believe you also need to rplc the brake pedal, one for power breaks.

Yes, you have to change the brake pedal to a power pedal. The pedal ratio is different between power and non-power brakes. The M/C is also different - most power have a shallow push rod pocket and most manual cylinders use a deep rod pocket.
