71 SSP w/ 318 manual brakes vacuum nipple

Post by mrsnicks » Mon May 18, 2015 10:40 am

Couple questions. A 318 car with a/c and manual brakes. How many ports would the vacuum nipple have? If I wanted to add power brakes to it how many ports would it have and what would it look like?

Also anyone have any for sale?

Thanks,

Patrick

Just one port...for the aircond controls.

I have two, but my car has power disc brakes.

Thanks for the response.. Now the 2nd part of my question.

If I wanted to add power brakes would I really just have to get a brake booster and a new vacuum nipple for the manifold?

need a power brake master cyl also ,if running drum brakes in front may be hard to find ,most power units had disk ,early ones were 4 bolt ,some of the cordoba ones were 2 bolt masters ,i think the van and pickup ones had bigger pistons in them over the cars (some say gives an improved brake feel with the bigger piston )
71-75 b & e body (75 b body is a cordoba ) show to be the same in my hollander interchange ,i have bolted newer volare and cordoba boosters to the older cars ,they do not look "correct" though

If you need help with a booster try this guy in Portland, OR. Boosters are his specialty...
