That Dearborn kit is Kevin's - he was at the last meeting and I drove out and looked at this stuff and the Falcon he's working on. I was only interested in maybe the front suspension parts but he was wanting to sell it all as a kit. I don't see the suspension stuff here now, so maybe I got confused or he sold the other stuff. If he shows up at the meeting tonight, I'll make sure he gets the message.
I am a little concerned because they packaged it with a "drum/drum" style master cylinder, but that's an easy thing to remedy.

Sent you a PM with his contact info.
Power brakes on a Falcon is not easy. Kits are sold, but I have no idea how they get them to fit between the firewall and the shock tower.
Way back before I bought my wagon, I bought a power brake setup for a Ranchero I was going to build. It is one of those parts I still have sitting on the shelf since about 1995. At the time I didn't have that determination like I do now about dual M/C's - it's a power brake - single master setup. By the time I realized this it was too late to return it. I was collecting lots of parts at the time... and I sold the Ranchero when I found the wagon and sold off all the stuff I had, except this. Though I have tried.

Spent some time getting the delivery ready for the Good. Guys show on the 26th. Got my speedo calibrated pretty closely now, tach will get installed Monday or Tuesday.
I ordered my disc brake kit but I don't think it will get here fast enough to install before the show. I'll post pics of that swap when I do it. I won't let the cat out of the bag but should be very cool when done.

Ok one more. I wish I knew why I can only post one picture at a time with my iPad or iPhone??

Very nice Steve! That's the first full-sized MC, with booster, I've seen in a Falcon. The booster must be ultra small. So what kit did you get exactly?
As for more than one pic using an iPad, what is different when you compare the experience with a PC? Is the photo selector limiting it? I've often meant to ask Dennis in Florida what he does to post text, then photo, then text. I see an "insert image" link, but it wants to link off to another address. Dennis, what do you do to get your pics in line with content?

It seems all the same and I can actually download five images but when posting them it only does one??
By the way the kit is from ABS brakes.

Interesting. We have an iPad at work for testing software, so maybe I'll grab it sometime and see what I see.
Thanks for the heads-up on the name. Looks really good from here. Stopping the Ranchero with manual drum brakes like you had is fun. Not. May have to see about saving up for this or asking for this setup for my birthday, or Christmas, or my next 5 Christmas's and birthday's.
