FWIW, i saw a 1956 t bird at a car show this evening that had a standard non power master cylender and a remote booster. the gentleman said it was similar to the one used on that car originally (his had not been equipped), and was also similar to a volkswagen unit. He, unfortunately could not provide more information as he had done the conversion many years ago.

The booster he had seemed small enough to be tucked into the fenderwell where our stock vacuum resivour is.

Perhaps this coupled to a small manual master cylender like the honda one mentioned earlier in this thread would be functional?
