Hal, Yes you can skip the power brake booster. Just make sure you find the correct master cyl. for the manual disc brake set-up. It can be found on Hornets and Ford Mavericks (I've seen these two choices) and possibly on '70's Mercury Comets, besides the Gremlin of course. As my '74 Gremlin was special ordered with this option. The Mix, in Cleveland, Ohio [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
