Re: 1966 American P/B booster unit

[farna@xxxxxxx]

The S/C Rambler had the same booster as earlier models. It has a stand-off mount between the booster and firewall. The Hornet was the first to have the booster mounted directly on the firewall IIRC. Javelin might be, but I think it had an angled stand-off mount instead of the "up and away" type mount. I'd have to look in TSMs to know for sure.

MP Brakes (www.mpbrakes.com) sells a "hot rod" universal fit 7" booster, but it mounts directly to the firewall and I'm sure there isn't room. I modified a Ranger booster to fit my existing booster bracket, but took some cutting and welding of the rod that goes into the booster (and doesn't easily remove!). That procedure can be a bit delicate.

I've noticed these as I'll probably upgrade to power booster on my '69 (currently it's got later front discs, but is still manual) and have looked at S/C's at shows.  I don't recall if I've seen other Americans with power boosters now that I think of it...
