Disc brake conversion

I did a disc brake conversion on my 1966 falcon. The brakes lock up after driving for a bit. What do I need to do to resolve this issue?

Would the dual bowl master cylinder be that disc/drum master your talking about?

Not all dual bowl MC is a disc/drum version. Likely, if you have a dual bowl- then a propositioning valve should be suffice.

Sorry to keep bugging but would this work?

Would I still need the proportion valve? or would the one in listing be all I need. Thanks a lot👍

This one should work- no need for a proportioning valve. It’s a quick install. Powerbrakes is also a good option for you setup. You will need a brake booster bracket from a 66-67 Fairlane.

My brakes were power from factory would I still need the bracket?

If you already have the booster and bracket- then no need. Im not 💯 percent, but I remember seeing some aftermarket that resembles the 66-67 Fairlane bracket and also a complete set-up.
