HELP!

My 1990 Ford F-250 SuperCab 460 Auto Air 4x4

I dropped off a E8TZ-2005-B Hydroboost and hoses and a new power steering pump w/ dual returns and they just called and said the master cylinder DOES NOT FIT! Crap! EVERYWHERE I have read says it is a swap!
My master cylinder has wires going into it, they ordered in a master for an F-450, will that work? Any experts here?

ya, the master cylinder holes have to be oblonged wider. either that or you can get the master cylinder for a f450.

yeah i just linked him to this too.this guy has all kinds of threads going on the same topic in other parts of the forum.a real mess lol.looks like we got him pointed in the right direction in the end though.
i could use this mod myself,even though i seem to have good brakes now,i guess you can never go overkill when it comes to being able to stop.

check this out.he's not having good results.any idea where he went wrong?
if i do this sometime,i don't want to follow his advice on part numbers if something isn't right.
i didn't think people changed the PS pump when they did this?

Yaa I ordered all the parts new from Rockauto a few weeks back. I did order the Motorcraft booster, and it came with the push rod already installed.

I was hoping that was the case but I wasn't sure what this "push rod" looked like until Artisan pointed it out in the pictures.
