contact ABS power brake & tell them what you have & what you want ;

I'm sure other brake companies could help too.

You could either go 67 Mustang

Or 72 Maverick

You won’t need a proportioning valve. But you will need a 10lb residual pressure valve to the rear brakes.

Opps :oops: , missed the drum brakes part. I did that as well before going to discs, ordered one for a 70 Maverick all drum car.

You can get reducers for fittings at the MC . maybe you got the wrong hoses? or maybe I'm misunderstanding you. :?
