Brake Booster & Stop Light Switch
Just finishing installing the brake booster kit from Master Power. Pretty easy kit to install. Only one issue. The pushrod in the kit is a threaded yoke style and is not compatible with the stock stop light switch. Any thoughts on how to get working brake lights? I went to the auto parts store to see about a pressure switch and they sold me a generic on with 1/8 NPT threads and no adapters to make it inverted flare.
Would love to keep the stock switch just for ease of future repairs however I can't for the lift of me figure a way to make it work.
Anyone have an ideas? Thanks

'67 F100. What I am saying is my new booster kit isnt compatible with the stock setup. What I think I am going to do is Tee in a pressure switch on the 1/2" master port.

1967: Brake lamp switch attaches to the brake pedal, but these two parts are 1967 only. 1968/72 use a different switch and brake pedal. The 1968/72 switch can be adjusted.
1967's used dozens of one year only parts that are different than 1968/72.
