Has anybody out there ever installed a power brake booster on a manual brake car? My '62 Dynamic has manual brakes with drums all around which actually work pretty well but I'm concerned about emergency/panic braking.

I have an NOS power booster that's proper for this car, along with the master cylinder (already attached) and the vacuum reservoir tank. I'm currently looking for a proper (in-line) vacuum check valve but they're not easy to find. I'm also wondering whether or not I need to swap the manual brake pedal assembly with a power brake version for that model year. The two assemblies appear different. For example, they use different brake light switches, and the manual pedal assembly is built heavier for obvious reasons. Question is: Are the holes in the same place?

Any advice is very much appreciated. Thanks!
