Manual vs power brakes

[Spanky]

How many are running power brakes on their T-bucket?

Manual. I think power brakes are overkill!

Ii agree, Bill, but there are some situations where they seem to be the choice. I think Spirit Cars offers them as a choice on their cars.

Manual breaks but disc in the front.. a little more reliable.

Manual disc/drum. Mine has the MC on the firewall, so power would just add to the visual clutter.

We have power brakes in my wife's T-bucket with drums on the back and Wilwood 15 sliding calipers on the front, they are definitely overkill. My 409 T-bucket has the exact same wheels, tires, brakes and 200 lbs. more weight but with a regular master cylinder and I prefer that setup.
