7/8" master cylinder and go smaller (3/16") on brake line to the rear is my advice going manual. Manual works great when set up right.

In research phase right now to determine what route to go - nothing is off the table. For this thread I want to limit to manual brake conversion.

The bigger they are, the slower they turn. A typical EMD locomotive engine , 645 cu.in per cylinder, 12 to 20 cylinders has a top speed of 900 RPM..a so-called medium speed diesel.

My rep says 5 years. But maybe that is to cover their butts. I know I’ve used oil way older than that, and on some of my low use vehicles, the oil is older than that in the pan.

Yes I'd watch it if Mark and crew did the resto or whatever gets done with it.

By the right hands I meant the new owner.
The son sure wasn't going to spend time or money on it.

Took both Pontiacs on about a 40 mile run to get some burgers and deep fried cheese curds. More of a test for the GTO than anything. Runs just as good as when I parked it in February.

No manual transmission clutch and brake pedal trim until 1964 on a B body.
I think that pedal trim was part of the decor group.
