1969 Power Brakes?

[evan_flatt69]

Ok i've done some looking around the forum about converting to power brakes and it seems like all you have to do is get a brake booster and mount it up and attach a vacuum line. I'd probably get a new master cylinder because it's pretty much all rust and bleed the brake lines. But anyway my newbie question- is where do you hook the vacuum line too? The only vacuum lines I know of are the vacuum that goes to the trans and the vacuum advance line to the distributor. Do I split a vacuum line off one of these with some type of adapter and use that one?

Also, a second thought- I hear you use a vacuum gauge to properly adjust your carb for some things. What do you use for that?

the vacuum sourse come from main intake manifold vacuum. the main port on the passenger rear intake.

Do i need a booster bracket if I buy a 1969 setup from the local auto parts store? Or will it bolt right up in place of the master cylinder?

[fordman]

the boosters require a bracket to be moutned to the firewall.

What year brackets will work?

1968-1972, read on down through this section and you will find some others that are doing the same as you and see what help they got

a lot of the 73-77 brackets are the same as ours. but not all of them.
