I am thinking converting my "accordian" power brake booster system to a more contemporary system when I switch from single master cylinder to dual (drum/drum) master cylinder (MC). I have the photo below of another (different) 56 Dodge that has had its power brake system updated stored in my "Brake Info" folder. But I don't know the booster they used.

I like the booster in the photo because it is flat(ish) to the firewall and it looks very factory, albeit after 1961.

I know that to achieve this conversion, I will have to change the brake pedal system (I am working with Big M on this). I just need to figure out what booster to use. I already have the MC.

Anybody?

Looks like a common 1967 and up Chrysler booster, same for the master cylinder too.
Try searching for Cardone 54-73520

Sorry Nathan. Everything that I remove/change on my car, stays with the car, for its next caretaker. (Who might like accordions, etc.)
