Power Brake Conversion

[73Vette]

I'm starting the restoration of my '73 and am curious if you can convert a standard brake system to power assisted by just adding the brake booster and plumbing or if it's more involved?

I have a 72 BB that came with manual brakes. After much research I found that Corvette Central makes an entire original system including everything needed. Booster, new lines, brackets, everything, However not the first farkin set of directions.

I bought the system and after a few mis steps now have GREAT factory PB. Do it it's unquestionably (in my opinion) worth doing.

If I can offer help in any way pls hollar.

I agree, it came with a different porportioning valve also I assume? Well worth doing. We just did one on a 54 Ford....worked out well. & if you can do it yourself with help from Kap142 all the better.

Thanks guys-just spoke to John at CSSB and says he has all the parts and any advice/direction I'll need. Between him and Kap142, should be a simply. Thanks again.
