power brakes on 67 small block
I was thinking of adding power brakes to my 67 anybody know how difficult that is, is it just a matter of adding the booster or is it more complicted than that. Any help on this matter would be appreciated thank you ditchdigger650

power brakes
I added power brakes to my vette and it was pretty easy. Bought the booster and master cyl new from Classic Performance Products on a ebay auction for $110. It is not correct for the year it is a 68 MC but there are other things I changed so no big deal to me. I painted the MC Chevy Orange to match the engine and I thought it came out nice, but thats my opinion. Works great.

I'm pretty sure you need a different set of lines because of the different location of the master.
Note the two different brake line part numbers from Paragon...

First, please fill out your profile so we have a little information about you and your car.
You can easily add the brake booster and use your existing lines. All you need is a 9" extension for the rear brake line. There is plenty of flex in the front line to rebend it. Check out my pictures and the little write-up I did ==> here.
