    '64 Power Brake System

    I am planning to install an original power brake system on my '64 Corvette. I have located an original power brake master cylinder with the correct bleeder scwew. Am I correct in that the power brake master cylinder requires a different (longer) actuator rod that attaches to the brake pedal than one found on a non-power brake master cylinder?

    Also, are there any other components other than the power brake booster and intake vacuum fitting w/hose in a '64 power brake system that are diffeent than the non-power brake system? Items such as wheels cylinders, brake shoe return spring kits, brake lines both metal and flexible?

    Best Regards,

          James,

          One other thing to be aware of, there is a riveted nut plate on the firewall to support the power brake booster. This may an easy fix or not, depending on lining it up with the booster.
