Okay so I am in the process of putting things back together on my 67 and first up is a power brake booster. As of now the car has manual drum brakes all around. I plan on putting power disc brakes up front and add rear disc at a much later time. I know I could just pick up a power brake disc kit online like SSBC http://www.ssbrakes.com/commerce/det....cfm?nPID=8306. However I won't need at the parts at this exact moment since I also will be replacing all of the steering and suspension as well.

if you are staying with manual steering, then a factory booster will do fine. if you are going with power steering, then consider using a hydro boost system.

I used a 5.0 Brake Booster and I turned the Booster Rod 180 Degrees and it fit my pedal perfectly. I paid $30 for the Booster. I used a Granada Master Cylinder but you could use the 5.0. I didn't to the modification to the pedal as Ulstrastang did with his.
