I think that would lead to an extremely soft pedal. (Alot of assisted boost and a small bore size) I recommend upgrading to a '93 Cobra MC.

This is what I told Shelty in my brake thread.

Also, the MC used in the '85 Towncar was used in other years and in other Ford applications but its been generally referred to as the '85 Towncar.

The Towncar MC is available at NAPA and I'm sure others carry it. For your car though, I would recommend a '93 Cobra MC, which is also a 1" bore. Maximum Motorsports makes a conversion kit for '87-'93 Mustangs to convert to the '93 Cobra MC. I would link you the conversion kit but Maximum Motorsports website redirects you to the main page when you link anything. The MM part number is MMBAK-3 . I have a brand new '93 Cobra MC that I bought for $110 would sell to you for $80 shipped. MM sells it for $100 plus shipping. I'm sure you probably not going to be buying parts for a while but I figured I'd offer.

Let me know if your interested in the MC. My opinion on you running the stock MC has nothing to do with the fact that I have a Cobra MC sitting on a shelf in my living room. It definitely is convenient though.

Also, are you still running stock rears?

I bought it for $110 shipped on ebay, I'll sell it to you for $80 shipped. It's new and never got installed on the car. If you find it anywhere that cheap link me the price and I will knock a couple bucks off $80. I'm pretty sure that's as cheap as you will find though.

I was going to tell you to be sure to gut your stock prop valve and install an adj. prop but seeing as you still have stock rear brakes, it doesn't matter yet. I bet you have a ton of brake dive with bigger fronts and stock rears.
