Chrysler Power Brakes

Hi

i have some questions about the
Chrysler Brake System.

Whats is the difference between
Normal Brake and Power Brake??

An other Masterzylinder?
Vacum Booster only with Power Brake
or with the Normal Brake too?


I hope it comes a answer.

Thanks
Mario

A Chrysler with power brakes will have a vacuum booster behind the master cylinder. A standard(normal) brake car only has the master cylinder. Hope this helps!

 

What year Chrysler are you wondering about? I know in my 50 Desoto the master cylinder is on the frame and there would be a raised area under the drivers seat with the booster. You might ask the question on p15-d24.com as they are the experts.

 

Thanks guys for the first Informations.

My Chrysler is a 1954 New Yorker.
And with Power Brakes.

says that the Normal Brakes and Power Brakes have the same Masterzylinder.

Chrysler used to put the vacuum assist unit linked to the pedal linkage so it aided in depressing the master cylinder in parallel to the pressure your foot generated.

It wasn't like a GM type unit where the master cylinder was mounted right onto the assist chamber.

So the same master cylinder was used in either situation. However, the actual linkage inside the car is different for a standard unassisted brake system than that used in a power assisted braking system.

So if you are considering changing from a standard braking system to a vacuum assisted system, you are likely going to want to find the pedal linkage setup for the vacuum assisted type as well.
