Hi my name is Gary and I just purchased a complete restored 1957 Olds 88 Convertible I want to put disc brakes on front do I have to change the original power brake booster?

Yes you will, A tredal-vac will not support any disk brake system.. Just plan on installing a new brake booster which will probably be on the driver side fire wall. You may loose your defroster box when mounting the MC and booster..... Tedd

PS welcome aboard we like pictures...
