I am putting in a new brake system in my 66 monza sedan and will do the 63 
briers next.  Is there any up grades I should be aware of (part #'s).  What 
does everyone think about FC brakes? I was told that when towing and hauling 
heavy things, the brakes can be a bit small.

    The stock FC brakes are quite adequate for 90% of all people, including 
me pulling a trailer. See my previous post. 
    Any brake system will fade if not used properly, like riding your brakes 
instead of using them and releasing them.
    Also a lot of people feel safer with a dual master cylinder, but again, 
there are lots of single master cylinders out there working away, including all 
of my cars unless they came with a dual master or it is mandated that I 
change, this applies to the race car.
