Default Power brake question

i am in the process of installing power brakes and notice there are two holes in the brake pedal which could accept the clevis, which is correct for power brakes, upper or lower?

’65 327/300, thanks in advance.

Clevis goes in the lower hole, brake light switch striker goes in the upper.

The lower hole due to the tilt of the PB master cylinder as noted...the brake "flag" (striker) goes in the upper hole....this is as shown in the PB option section of your AIM. On a 63 you would remove the brake pedal return spring if you didn't want to have any 'telltale' signs of the conversion left. Don't know if its the same on a 65..

All '63-67's with factory power brakes deleted the brake pedal return spring; that function is performed by the booster internals.
