I am using an Offy 360 with 2 '65 AFBs. I have tried both progressive and direct but it appears to work better direct. Any pictures or suggestions would help.

Stock pedal and linkage on both the 61 and 63.

Been working on the wife's convertible. The trim is about finished and the power brakes are installed. The 326 engine is under wraps waiting its turn. As soon as more of the mechanicals are finished, the new convertible top needs installed and then it will be the original interiors turn.

I would really be interested in seeing how you handled your power brakes? John

John,
I used a complete NOS set up. The car has stock drum brakes with modern brake shoe linings. The pwr brake system looks like the used one in the attached pictures. The wheel cylinders and hard lines are also new. I found that the power brake pedal requires a 2" lower hole than the standard brakes to attach the booster rod and a higher hole in the firewall for the booster rod.

Jerry, Thanks for the description on this! I won't fully understand your explanation, until I climb under my dash and see what's going on. I need to work out a way to get a later booster for my dual master cylinder that will clear the V8 valve covers. If I could just get it to stop half as good as my wife's CTS I would be happy. John
