I used a dual master that came with a booster that's larger than the one for drums from ABS the company that supplied all of the other hardware it was a generic system that the fellow and I figured would fit the fifty two
After a couple of pics went back and forth I sacrificed the driver side fresh air vent put a plate over the hole for some mounting real estate the supplied pedal dropped right down where the stock one used to be
I lived where there was a huge hill and had fade be the bottom ,now I live in driver maniac houston ,and am satisfied with new stop power
Abs supplies the parts that the other guys sell ,very helpfull you can look at thier catalog and figure out what unit would fit
Also manifold vacumb from the 327 was enough to run the booster

hey Steve
where in LA, I'm in Torrance
I remember back in the lat 80's right after i got my
"400" I started looking for an upgrade to the TV setup
But other things became more important and I never had
any problem with the TV after I rebuilt the unit...
the car has been in the garage since 2002, and now
I'm kinda getting back into it, so a brake upgrade is
a mandatory item in today's driving world.

Ps abs power brake is on orange st in southern la my geography is poor ,they sell parts to all of the supplier ,I used the air vent hole in the firewall on the driver side to put on a plate and had scolded of room to hang a 9" booster the engine made plenty of vacumb but that was an initial concern
You could drive the car by there' and they'll fit you up ,original rims were fine too

Hi Steve, I just email myself pix from my phone (Samsung) and it lets me choose the size of the pic so I just go with 10% to save BigKev's server space. Open the email, save the pix to your computer or tablet. Then post them here as usual.

You will have to find where the photo goes when the email arrives on your computer. On mine the photo shows in the email but isn't actually saved in a useful format and just resides as part of the email folder until I do something with it. If I want to save the photo to post or for other uses I can select save and a copy automatically goes to a default folder I designated -- or I can choose to save it in another folder if I want.

On the forum when you want to post the photo you would use the choose button and go to that folder in your computer and find the photo. Select the photo in the window that appears then hit the attach button and finish your post in the usual manner.
