There is, in the case of a 65 Mercury Comet I'm helping restore,, a difference in pedal leverage if that vehicle was built with power breaks, or manual brakes. That is, the MC push rod is positioned much higher on the brake pedal arm than if that vehicle was equipped with power brakes. I just wanted to say there can be some not so obvious design differences. Also, after a panic stop in my 64 F100 which has manual/drum brakes, a sound was produced I haven't heard in decades,- screeching tires from hard braking. Antilock brakes are the other piece of the modern brake equasion. The truck stopped very well and straight with out incident and it doesn't take a lot of pedal pressure/effort with the stock design. Just some more food for thought....
