Larry etc.,
What you really want is to eliminate the booster
entirely! This is easily accomplished by using a tandem
master cylinder with a smaller bore. I have the Ford
Courier (about '86 as I recall, with drum brakes) which
has a 0.75inch bore. I have stock front brakes (where
do I get your Wilwood setup??), Dale's Fiat 124 rear
brakes and CAT braided ss lines. GREAT setup! Safer,
more modern, lighter, excellent feel (no monkey motion
from the booster) with a pedal as solid as a rock (you
just modulate the pressure).
