Default Wilwood brakes

Putting wilwood disc brakes on my 1970 T/A.

I I'm using the 12.19 / 6 piston fronts and the 4 piston rears. with the stock size brake lines. A stock delco brake booster

What are your thoughts on the size piston in the Wilwood master cyl.

the motor is making around 15-16 lbs. of vacuum at idle

495 ci with 236/242/116 roller

Thanks Don

Don,

I have a '73 with the same setup, but went with the Wilwood master cylinder, power brake booster and proportioning valve. Seems to be working fine right down, but my mechanic is still going thru the shakedown phase.

I had the four piston setup on another TA and had the factory master, booster and proportioning valve and the brakes are a problem. we are going to change the master, booster and proportioning valve to the Wilwood system.
