I've got a 67 Fury (that was originally a manual drum car) with the discs off a 72 with an adjustable proportioning valve plumbed to the rear. The spindles and discs are already on, a disc brake master cylinder on and just need to reattach the brake pedal and booster. My questions is which booster do I need? Do I want to use a booster for a 72 or the 67 booster for the disc/drum combo. Unfortunately the 72 parts car is long gone but I've got a 67 power drum car for parts if there are other parts I need. Thanks in advance for the help, Dave

That is guaranteed to work with no fitment hassles if you originally had power drum brakes, but may be difficult to find. If you originally had manual brakes, you'll need to find the firewall plate and brake pedal assembly from a power drum car as well. If you have column shift, a later dual-diaphragm booster should also work. The later single-diaphragm booster will only work if you have floor shift, because the larger diameter of this booster will hang-up your shifter linkage otherwise. I have floor shift and bought a 1971-73 single-diaphragm booster for my 66. I had some fitment issues that required opening the hole in the firewall and other messing around because the arm that connects to the brake pedal is longer than my original drum booster. This advice would be correct for a 66 and I assume a 68 would be the same. Cheers, Mike 1966 Chrysler Windsor 2DHT, 1966 Chrysler Newport conv.

I've got the backing plate and pedal assembly of a 67 power drum car but will be buying the booster since I don't have a disc brake booster. It'll cost a bit more but I'll just buy a booster for a 67 with discs so I know it will fit. Thanks again.

It stops as good if not a bit better than the G6 Pontiac I rented last week to drive out to Colorado and back.

IMO... Using a factory engineered set-up would be preferable but who knows?
