good information i can use, i'm currently sorting out my brakes

A LOT of valuable information for vintage Mustang owners packed into this video. Nice job, Ben.

This car becomes more and more of a beast. Good job, champ. Keep it up. Really wanna see the future upgrades.

You put this up right as me and my buddy started our brake work on our mustangs! Great timing

What a nice old Mustang.....and what a beautiful raw sound it has!

Very informative, my 68 has manual brakes and steering and I love the feel. Thanks Ben

I'm thinking of adding power disc brakes to my 69. Good to know on the vacum issue I'll have to check that

Lucky for you to have their support.

That thing’s sweet. I just drove my neighbor’s 67 notchback for the first time and I definitely appreciate that it recently had power brakes installed

Love the stang! And the video quality is top notch. Hope one day I’m able to come even close with skills. Keep up the good work

My 67 four speed Mustang with a built 302 only had 12 inches of vacuum with a brake booster. I'll tell you about a braking issue I had. With station wagon rear finned brake drums/shoes (larger than normal Mustang drum brakes) the rear brakes started locking up when stopping at all speeds. I did the usual by replacing drums, shoes, cylinders, flex lines, master cylinder, booster, proportioning valve and bleeding countless times. It turned out the rebuilt booster was the culprit. I went to disconnect the push rod from the brake pedal to the booster and the push rod was literally broken in two pieces! How that thing didn't completely fail is beyond me. Replaced the booster for the third time and the locking brake issue was cured. I don't understand how that would just affect the rear brakes but it did.

I went manual Wilwood brakes on my 74 240Z after a buddy let me drive his 1000hp 68 F100 that has manual brakes and I've never turned back. The manual brakes feel really good, you'd be surprised. Really good information as I only know what I know from other people so it was nice to hear information you learned at Wilwood. Thanks Ben.

That’s a good and informative video bud! Just in time as I’m about to do my disc break conversion next week

GREAT video! Super informative 👍🏾

Love the car, simple, understated. Thanks for sharing. 👍

I used this video to help me dial in my wilwood prop valve , great video bro 🔥👍

Awesome as usual!!!!

Nice video Ben, a lot of good info to learn from here !

Great video, I was about to add power brakes to my 70 Fastback, now I'll stick with the manual setup!

That's a beautiful car. Great video 👍

Very interesting topic. Thanks for sharing!

Sweet Ride!

Nice seeing a new video

As always great video.

Same been looking at slotted mags in the rear for mine aswell

Love the content and that car is amazing

Good stuff bro

Good stuff......Keep up the good work.

That car looks great with those wheels and tires.🙂👍

sounds badass

Good job man 👨

I redid my front drum brakes this summer and man is manual braking + drums all around the slowest, yet the most reliable system ever :D

Really helpful info on vacuum. I think I'll stick with non-assisted brakes so my future tuning options aren't limited.

Great video good info , I personally prefer a vacuum pump over the hydroboost , if you stall your car or the engine stops running for any reason you lose your brakes and with the vacuum pump you still have a little residual left in the booster to get the car stopped . Just my opinion. and keep the videos coming

Wow! Mike is good!

good info. i need to tune my brake system

Cool video, its fun watching you learn and figure things out. One way to build vacuum in traffic is to downshift and use the engine to brake. Its an old trick I used back when the 4 speeds were unbroken and I ran power boosters on my low vacuum engines. The high compression 455s I run don't care, they make a ton of vacuum even with what would be a huge cam in a 302 Ford. You can do it with an auto trans too, but some like a stock Th400 or C4 won't downshift until the governor allows it. The speed at which the governor allows a downshift varies a lot, even in the same application. Lots of variables. Its a very simple change on a Th400, you plug a certain hole in the valve body, but then you can put it in first gear at any speed.. tends to lock up the rear wheels or spin the engine so tight it grenades when you do that at high speeds. My 67 Cougar came with the 4 piston disc brakes from the factory. It was my first car and I never understood when people said muscle cars have bad brakes, that thing stopped like right now provided you didn't lock them up. Then I drove a 68 Chevelle with drums, and a 69 Charger with drums, and it all made sense after that. Only two Pontiac cars I have are staying 4 drum, they are low buck sleepers, 68 LeMans and 72 Ventura. Drums are a lot more work keeping them stopping straight.

Informative video

new sub here ! keep the videos coming ! love that mustang by the way ;)

You're 65 Mustang is looking good brother.

really cool man i hope to join the willwood team someday!

Great vid. I have the same issue with my wklwood conversion as my brakes don't lock up. Did he undo the proportion valve or tighten?

awesome

Nice!

So it looks like spinning the valve clockwise will adjust the proportioning so the rears will lock up. Then, spinning it counter-clockwise a few turns balances back towards a more neutral proportion?

wow, learned some stuff i didnt know. glad the brakes on my dart are manual now, because no way is the cam in my big block gonna make vacuum haha. the firewall issues isnt that big of a deal. im sure theres a stiffening plate for it somewhere, but if not, just make one from some thick gauge steel.

Mike already knew the car dident have enough vacuum,he just wanted to test it so he could hear the car run.

Love this car! No Honda wheels and rubber band tires, no billet steering wheel. It's just perfect.

Love your car and videos...nice work! FYI... the unit of measure you are reading on a vacuum gauge is inches of mercury...not cubic inches.

Looking forward to see how you go with no booster.

very interesting, i'm considering a wilwood brake kit for my vette and can't decide whether to go manual or keep the power assist...leaning towards manual

Cool!

Yellow 65 falcon!

Greetings from the international space station!

Good to see a young guy not in a rice burner👍👌

Great video Ben. Will you be updating to the Wilwood Pedals? What about rear disk?

I’m right about to put brakes on my moms car so I can drive to high school, and than you uploaded this what a coincidence

More mustang videos!!

Hey man what paint did you use, looks sweet

What size wheel and tires are you running ? i love them and need a set for my 66

Are you still running the venom 250s?

so what did he do as far as adjusting,, did he turn it all the clock wise , or did he go counter clock wise? to start, I need to do the test and adjustment also. Nice Car

Question for ya. I recent got the 4 piston Wilwood front brake setup. What wheel size are you using on the front? Any clearance issues with the caliper?

Would you be willing to tell me what size rims and tires you have? Thank you.

Keep the power brakes for driveability just add a motor to run the booster.

What size are those front tires and how are they not hitting the fender? Im runnin 245/45r17 on my 65 and they hitting front of fender on turns

The brake brace goes on the outside from the firewall to the shock tower.

Hi, what color is that matte green?

What steering wheel do you have?

What you got under the hood ? How much hp

Have you check your rear brakes?

🙏🙌

What size tires??

Are those 14" wheels? Curious if they were and cleared your discs

Hi Ben, Been watching for a while now - and love all your videos - I just acquired a 1964.5 - D-Code Coupe - almost no rust California car. Converting it from an automatic to a 5 speed Borg-Warner/Tremec. I love the stance and look (Torque Thrust) of your Mustang and want to duplicate it. Could you give me the specs on your wheels and tires? I was thinking of going to 17" but the tire gets to skinny, there is more of a tire choice in 17"s but the ride is rougher I would guess... Opinion? Anyway - carry on with the great work and hope to hear from you soon. Cheers! Gary.

How long did it take you to get where you are with the car now

I’m curious to see how you re-enforce the fire wall.

Can you please tell me the wheels and tires sizes and what wheel model? I love the look

Where did you find that tach?

Do you need power brakes when running willwood disc on the front.

Saludos desde mi casa❤️

hey man, what rear end is in your mustang?

Hey, love your vids. They are what inspired me to buy my first car, which I bought a 65 mustang! But now I’m thinking if I should just rebuild the original drum brakes, or spend the money to get some wilwood brakes, is it worth it?

What about a vacuum pump?

BTW We have used an electric vacuum pump and reservoir for big cammed engines.

Shit ben!! When we racing?

Retro fit a electric brake booster did mines off a 2014 Lexus rx450 $150 via Ebay

Why do large engines make less vacuum?

You should always reverse into your driveway

just let this car to the right guy.

Have someone bead roll a pannel you candy sandwich on the firewall and plugweld it stiffen it up a lot ehbud

Use some Gasgacinch to get rid of the belt squeal. No need to be driving crazy on the streets, you're gonna hurt someone.

Disculpa no c inglés. Podrían mandar sólo en español. Por su atención gracias

Ben careful with that rear end locking up like that. In my experience my car performs best when I dial out the rest lockup you don't want that rear locking up in a turn its like a BMX bike. When you get it all fixed dial it out so the majority of braking duty is on the front!

Not to be picky, but vacuum is measured in inches of mercury, NOT PSI. This is a negative pressure, not positive. Otherwise, great video.
