power brake booster help
I ordered a master cylinder, booster, and bracket from a vendor on Ebay. I got it in, it all looked good. However when I mounted it to the fire wall it is at a downward angle. My truck was originally equipped with manual drum brakes. Am I missing something?

Re: power brake booster help
I don't know why they do that but I seem to recall the few I've seen in pictures have been tilted like that as well. someone with more experience will chime in shortly I'm sure.

Re: power brake booster help
Mine is the same way and i dont like it but i believe thats how they are. I thought about making shims for the bottom of mine to make it a little more level, But i am afraid the hood might hit if i did. Have not studied it out that much yet

Re: power brake booster help
All of them I have seen are angled slightly down... Mine is original and that way...

Re: power brake booster help

Re: power brake booster help
I never cared for the droopy boosters that protrude so far into the engine compartment. You can bolt it straight to the firewall, but it takes some mods.
