61-63 F85 power booster installation

I just picked up the under dash brake booster and I want to install it in my '63 Jetfire. Has anyone ever done this before? What other parts will I need. Thanks, Ken

there are many parts that you need beyond the booster. the master cylinder has a bigger bore for the power brakes. all the brake pedal and rods are differant and the vacuum tank under the hood on the right side fender will be needed. it took me a while to understand how this system works. it is a pretty crude setup but does work if you have all the adjustments right. if you never seen one to start with it is not going to be easy to install.
