manual drums to power assist
on a 69 cutlass convertible with only manual drum fronts.
are the only parts needed to convert to power front drums
a brake booster( what size 7", 8" 9" or different size)
and new power drum brake lines (like the 6pc kit sold by getdiscbrakes.com)
or are additional pcs needed?

the booster as you said. the lines, I believe you can bend what you currently have and it would work. I went from manual drum to manual disc on a car, and used the existing lines. Just cut one line and used a different size fitting at the master cylinder after reflaring the line.
The arm to work the brakes at the brake pedal would now connect to the lower hole in the brake pedal arm on a power brake car. you'll have to take this out anyway as the booster has the arm in it that goes through the firewall and connects to the brake pedal arm.
