power drum brakes

I want to upgrade my brakes with a power brake booster. I don't want to spend the money yet on front discs. I have a new master cylinder and shoes. Can I just bolt up a booster and bracket, or do I need to make other mods? My intake vacuum is about 17 inches of merc at idle. Thanks for any help.

You can just bolt on the booster and bracket. I had to make a little clearance for the booster by putting a dent in the top of the inner fender well.

Power brakes and power steering make the EBs twice as much fun to drive.
