    you need the booster, mounting plate to the fire wall, master cylinder, and linkage that goes from the booster to the brake pedal.  There are some companies like PST that sell most of the stuff in one shot.  Roseville might sell it to.

    1" master bore seems small for powerbrakes.

    If you have a manual brake setup, you will have to remove the top two studs and then drill out the four speed/manual assembly.

    How about this?

    I am trying to sell this master cylinder + power booster setup and I'll make you a deal.

    I have a linkage assembly that I removed when I put on my Hydroboost system.  Let me know if you need it.  J

    It is a brake booster system that is powered by hydraulic pressure from the power steering pump instead of vacuum.  Most modern cars and trucks use this style.  It has higher  and more consistent line pressure to the calipers.  The master cylinder and calipers operate with brake fluid in their own circuit, but is pressurized by the hydroboost.  My system has an adjustable pedal for height to the floor.  The system is expensive when bought in a kit, but guys here have taken them off of Chev Astro Vans and retrofitted them into their cars.  Im not that savvy.
