That sounds nothing like my '69 1600. My brakes are solid and will stop the
car fast enough to make you glad that I have shoulder belts in the car. The
rear slave cylinders and shoes are new and the pads up front are only about 5000
miles old and I have one of Stan's firewall braces ( Biggest factor in making my
brakes feel solid, yeah Stan! ). I can lock up all four tires if I hit the
brakes hard enough, but that doesn't stop the car faster! If anything,
roadsters have more brakes than needed.

I drove a 1600 for the first time last week, and the brakes were like skid
brakes on a go-cart. I doubt that I could ever get the car to skid. When
coming to a stop, I had to brake early, slowing to a stop eventually.
Is this common? I really had to push the brakes hard. Am I just too used to
power brakes?
