I have a 1969 Chevelle that I'm restoring. The car has standard brakes with brake drums on the front end. Can I put a new power booster master brake cyc. of the fire wall? What problems will I have? Will it bolt up the same way the old master brake cyc. did?

I've never done a Chevelle so I don't know if it would be the same or not but I switched the master cylinder and booster from a 77 Nova to a 78 Nova one time.
As I recall the only problem I had was finding one fitting to adapt one line I think (it's been several years)
The booster will bolt right on without any modifications. As far as I know, all cars came with studs in the right location for a booster or non-power m/c only.

I think you will need to replace the brake lines from the MC down to the distribution block on the frame. The booster mounts the MC at a angle and the old lines may be too short.

Why not go with hydroboost? I tried the vacuum booster and this works better than my 2007 2500!
