RE: [Chrysler300] Non- PB brake conversion for 4 speed K

Good luck on all that.  Just a reminder—the master cylinder of a remote booster system is the standard MC for a non PB Chrysler MC with the pressure retaining valve poked out of its nose and the outlet tubing  to the remote booster pointing down and the horizontal outlet plugged.  This MC will need its own and different reinforcing/mounting plate.  Yes, brake pedal geometry is different for PB and non PB MC’s.

 

Just to cloud the issue, I have seen a non-ram PB 300K converted to ram induction with about ¼” to spare.  It fit and worked but may not have been enough space and clearance for Chrysler engineers/managers.  No telling if they messed with motor mounts but I think not.  They may have not changed out the exhaust manifolds.  Can’ tell.  

Pictures attached.  In a silver 300K at the Golden meet-Sept 2012.

Folks

I have a short ram Intake J/K setup I want to install on our 4 speed K. The cast iron headers are already on the car and I have the heat riser elbows and pretty much everything else to get this done with the exception of the remote PB booster et al. Many years ago I bought a manual brake setup (master, backing plate, brake pedal hanger assembly and brake pedal.) It was for a Torqueflite car, which at the time I didn’t think would be an issue. For me it was bust 

Well, now as we’re trying to do the conversion from PB to non-PB, it is an issue. Seems as though the geometry of the non PB plunger into the relocated non-PB master (which I had resleeved and restored by Midwest brake - I think that’s the name on our club site) won’t work. 

So here’s what I need : 

- a C-Body brake pedal hanger and pedal arm for a 3 speed stick manual 
(‘60- 64?) brake car (mostly impossible, unless a B-Body of early ‘60’s would work?)
- a complete remote power booster assembly, including the booster, master, (brake lines etc ?) Etc to Accommodate the rams .

I don’t know what the interchangeability is C-Body vs. B-Body but if B-Body parts would help considerably.

Thanks,

Keity
