4 wheel discs...need to be power?
I am installing 4 wheel disc brakes on a 34 ford with mustang front and rear my question is do I have to use power brake master or will a manual system work OK?

A manual system will work just fine if you're not expecting them to act like power brakes. There will be more pedal effort and/or travel to get the same braking.

 As a moderator here, I would like to WELCOME YOU to Hotrodders.com  A lot of knowledgeable rodders use a Corvette master cylinder ....for 4 wheel disc brakes....with no booster. 1966 or 1967 was the original application, if I remember right....

Deuce is correct, the Vette master cylinder of 1967 to 72. Four wheel manual disc brakes, 427cid, 435hp.
Manual four wheel disc's work great on a 34. Vince

Thanks for the help guys...I think I am really going to like this forum stuff
One more question then. Because I am norrowing the housing the ebrake portion of the calliper in the rear hits on the shock and I cannot move the shock...can I just rotate the calliper ***'y from 3:00 to 12:00? The only difference I see is the bleeder location.

That should be fine, are you using aftermarket calipers or OEM?

Is the relocated caliper position going to hinder proper bleeding of the system? That would be my concern.

I don't think so the bleeder will point straight up. see attached pic.

That looks OK, that was the only thing I could think of that would be a problem.
