Not sure of the exact #'s. I got the manual MC from Jim's Mustang with the original kit. The power disk MC came from NPD when I ordered the power booster. The MC's are different and one must use the correct MC for the specific application. I think each one was around $100 or a little more for a brand new one. May be more now.

Oh, and you will need a proportioning valve and some extra small brake lines if you go to a dual reservoir MC with disk/drums. I got that in the original kit.

I paid:
$600 for the original kit
$450 for the booster and new MC
$250 for Praise Dyno pads, shoes, and new hardware

There was some shipping cost involved, but not too bad.

I have one of the brake valves (Wildwood) already installed with power brakes on the ole death cylinder. I was gonna put the rear disc kit in, when u mentioned the Praise dyno kit. Kinda got me wondering about keeping the drums back there.
Anyhow, just trying to figure out who I want to buy the dual kit from.

Unless you have one of the small boosters made especially for the 65-66 models, you may not have room for the dual chamber MC without denting in the shock tower. Those extra small boosters are made just to insure enough clearance for the dual MC.
