Does anyone know if I can use a Power Brake Booster and a Cable Clutch Conversion together on a 66 mustang?

I ask b/c it seems like one gets in the way of another, I'd like to get both, but don't want to waste my money on a certain power brake booster right now if it gets in the way of and won't work w/ a cable clutch conversion kit later.

What cable clutch setup? It's usually the stock linkage that gets in the way, cable is much easier to clear, and MustangSteve seems to use a cable clutch setup and 2.3 Fox booster in 65-66es, with tons of clearance.

I have the MustangSteve type cable clutch setup and a booster to be installed as one of my next projects and I don't forsee any problems.

I have done a couple of his kits with a booster and it works well.

Sounds good, looks like I'll get the mustang steve cable clutch when the time comes... I want to do the PB booster first, does anyone know where I can find a "2.3 Fox booster" (or another one that will work good)?

2.3 fox booster is not the correct booster for the cable clutch set-up. I would post the correct one, but I'm not sure if it would be quite right to post Mustang Steve's work for free. Check with Steve, as to the correct booster to use with his cable clutch set up.

Ahh...my bad, the MS booster looks more like a 5.0 unit (haven't seen either in a while so YMMV)
