I have a 1949 f-1 axle under the front of my 1962 ranchero , has a speedway motors disc conversion , manual master cly for maverick , no proportion valve , drums , eight inch rear , stops fine . I use the four speed to slow down a lot . a lot has to do with where the hole in the brake pedal is , for the master cly. rod . took some fine tuning on the rod to get it the right length .
