[FWDLK] Power Brake Boosters

[Scott H <kneedrager@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My plan was to use the original bellows style booster and dual mc from a
Volare on my 56 Dodge along with the AAJ kit.  I was mocking everything up
and saw the brake booster that I have for my 56 Dodge is dry rotted.  I do
not think it is worth rebuilding. My car will be set up with 4 wheel disc
brakes.
Has anyone retrofitted a modern sytle can type Power Brake Booster and dual
MC to a 55 or 56?
Id love to know what you used.
I saw on the board that some 57's and 58's used a setup from a early 70's
Duster  but I am not sure if that will translate to the 55 and 56.

Over the weekend I did manage to get hold of a mid 80's Chrysler booster MC
setup and a setup from a mid 80's Firebird to try to narrow down the
options.  While with enought drilling and fabricating either could be made
to work, I suspect that there is something out there that that is close.
What I have found is that these  booster assemblies (and those sold by SS
brakes and MP brakes) all l seem to have the brake rod attached to the
booster.  While the non power setup that is in the car has the rod attached
to the brake pedal and a cup that receives the rod in the master cyl. I  am
hoping to be able to retain the brake pedal and rod and get a booster the
will bolt to the original location of the MC on the firewall.

Is anyone famiiar with a power brake booster that does not have the rod
attached to the booster? Or are they all set up like this?

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott
