Welcome to the BB.

Your braking system can be upgrade to dual circuit system (usually a pain because the 122s used the master cylinder that mounts vertically). The '68 122s came with a dual MC with the correct bolt pattern (fairly expensive new, hard to find). There are adapters available to change the mounting pattern from vertical to horizontal (I made the one for my car):
