Okay i'm sure it's been asked but is there a kit out there to add power brakes to a car? What does it eman to have power brakes, and is it just a matter of having a bigger mastercylinder and a brake booster or is it more detailed than that?

Hi there,

I'm assuming that your '66 Barracuda is currently a non-power, 4 wheel drum setup, and you're looking to improve your stopping power.

The best route to better stopping power is to change the front brakes from drum to disc. There are a number of commercial packages to do that, such as this one:

You could also scrounge a junkyard (or eBay) for the appropriate parts and do the conversion using late model Valiant or Dart parts. A complete how-to on that is listed here:

Many will tell you (and they are probably right) that you really don't need the power booster... it will simply add weight and clutter up your engine compartment. Standard, non-power, disc brakes will do everything you want in that Barracuda.

thanks for the tip. I'll be going that route instead
