Converting manual brakes to power
 
I looking to convert my 64 GP from manual brakes to power
Has 8 lug wheels. Looking to use the 67-68 Master Cylinder
Does anyone make new or reman Power Brake Boosters?
and what other parts are needed to complete conversion

Thanks Rich

Is appearance important? If not why not go to someplace like MPP and get a current design 7 or 8 inch dual diaphragm unit?

Appearance as far as stock looking no.
It looks like they require 18 inches of vacuum
to operate properly.
I will call them to discuss
Thank You

Just put the MPB booster and master in my 64 Catalina to replace a failed factory booster and convert to a dual master. I have 8 lugs also. The car stops nice with the upgrade.

standard brake and power brake brake arms are different along with mounting bracket

master power brake unit fits and works great

You should really enjoy the 8 lugs with the power booster. They are such a nice braking system when cleaned and adjusted regularly and kept in good shape..
