I have a '74 Malibu also, and the brakes were good when I bought it in 1990.  But when I did the front end and steering rebuild, I replaced all the brake parts, so I wouldn't have to go back into it.
It always stopped very good over the years..even from 100 MPH !

Doing the mod to 11 inch drums on the rear requires going to 15 inch wheels by the way.....14s wont fit over the bigger drums.
