<< I drove a 1600 for the first time last week, and the brakes were like skid

Is this common? I really had to push the brakes hard. Am I just too used to
power brakes?

No, those brakes are broke! Lots of things can cause it, but I would look
first to see if the calipers were frozen. Could also be bad flex lines, air
in lines, etc. When the stock brakes are working correctly, they are very
good.
