Ok on the late 77 and up booster keith is correct it's not a direct bolt on/in. The one i got used a Z-Bar type lever actuation that bolts higher up/closer to the pivot point of the pedal arm. I took my pedal arm out and drillled the hole about 1/2"-3/4" higher and about 1/4"-1/2" forward(towards the firewall) of the original hole in the pedal. When i tried to hook it in the original hole, thne z-bar lever just pivoted down to the ground and didn't work the booster/ brakes at all. after i adjusted its' locatoin on the pedal arm it worked like the stock booster did.

I beleive that if you get a booster with a rod especialy an adjustable one it will bolt right in and work with some adjustments.
