I'm sure you can, but not without modifications to the firewall, pedal, tubing, etc. I have never done it myself, but just from experience of trying things like that i've come to learn what to expect. Someone else might write in that has done this before and straighten me out, lol, but thats my .02

yes you can, but there are going to be a few mods you will need to make. you will also need to fabricate a reinforcement plate to strengthen the firewall. check out mustangsteve.com or dazecars.com for more information on power brake booster swaps.

The 69 disc brake Mustang came from the factory with power boost. Is this missing?

You can probably hack, drill, and weld the 86 stuff in there, but since the 69 booster is available new, rebuilt, and used, it seems pointless. Get the right parts.

If you already have it, and it's just not working right, get it rebuilt.

No, it's an 8".

You're not missing anything, except the U bolts that attach the universal to the pinion yoke. It'll cost you about $10 for 2 bolts and four nuts.
