Manual brake to power brake conversion
So I'm looking at swapping over to power brakes on my '68. is it as easy as it sounds? Bolt up the power booster and hook in the vacuum line, then put the master cylinder on? Nothing is ever that easy for me LOL. Thanks for any help.

Re: Manual brake to power brake conversion
That's it. You don't even have to remove the brake lines from the master cylinder. Just unbolt it from the firewall and brake pedal and carefully pull it back. Pull the pushrod out of the back of the MC (since the booster will have one built in). Install the booster onto the firewall, reattach MC and brake pedal linkage, attach the vacuum hose to a fitting on the intake manifold runner.
