I used a non power MC as well. If the boosted Fairmont MC does not have a very deep (we are talking at least 2 or 2 1/2") "pocket" in the push rod area I would not use it. If the push rod ever slipped out you would be in terrible trouble. The non power Fairmont MC I ended up getting had a pre-attached push rod (as I recall) that ended in a loop. I sawed off the loop, turned down the rod into 3/8"X24 threads and attached my junction. First 2 photos below are my mock-up of that prior to putting it back underneath the dash. Keep in mind that my car(s) are '63s so a '62 may have some minor differences in the firewall form or shape.

Hopefully what worked on my '63 would most likely work on your '62 with some minor tweaks here and there.
