Power Brakes, or manual?

Can you tell from the bolt patterns on the firewall if a car was originally equipped with manual or power brakes? If the car was originally power brakes, can it be converted to manual? Thanks,

If it has been converted using the correct parts you probably wouldn't be able to tell as the bulkheads are made to take both types.

Yes you can convert from power to manual (or the other way around). It is a very common conversion. You can even use a modern light weight master cylinder if you want.

Look at some of the early threads in this section or use the search facility.
