Did you use a brake booster off of a mid 70's ford? I want to put a 460 in my '66 later on and i was wondering if i would have clearance problems.

If you're asking me.......

I did...........kinda. Actually I spent many lonely days walking up and down the aisles at the wrecking yard. But I ended up using the bracket off a mid 70's that moves the booster up. Anyways, I took that home and put it on, and it still wasn't enough. I needed it higher. So I was walking through the Pontiac aisle, and noticed the bolt locations on a Fiero booster looked pretty close. So I have the fiero booster mounted to the mid 70's bracket. It looks really clean, the only problems were tracking down the right adapters for my brake lines into the side of the GM master cylinder. Hey, when I see the number of Ford trucks running brand X engines, I'm o.k. with a booster from one. The truck is still 99% Ford powered.

I see. i'll keep that in mind when i'm doing my brakes. i planned on running all new lines anyway so if i have to resourt to using a GM brake booster and Master cylinder i can go around having to use adapters. I wonder if Ford made a smaller booster with the same bolt locations?
