Ive got a  8" open rear end with 2.80 gears out of a 70 in my 67 coupe.

Ive also got an 8" open rear end with 2.80 gears out of a 64.5.

Im thinking about putting the narrower 64.5 rear end in my 67 so I can get a better wheel fit with a 15x7 TTD with 3.75 BS.

I would run a 15x6 with 3.66 BS on the front with a 215-65-15 tire and the 15x7 with 3.75 BS and a 235-60-15 tire on the rear.  Track width would be less than .25" difference and both tires are 26 inches tall.

Im planning on 4.5 leaf mid-eyes and the Arning drop with either GT springs or CPP coilovers.

Good plan on the rear end swap or should I keep the 70 rear end and run a narrower tire or a 15x6 on the rear?

I dont want to roll fenders and I dont want to rub tires turning or bouncing.

The TTD is really the only wheel I like on a 65-68 and the choices are 15x7 3.75 BS or 15x8 4.5 BS.  

Thats not my thread on VMF.  I converted my 4 lug drum to 5 lug drum.  Everything on the drum brakes is new except the backing plates and front drums.  I also had new bearings pressed on the 8" rear end that I installed at the same time.

I am hoping to find a booster that will be a direct replacement for my Midland booster.  I would prefer not to have to replumb the master or make any other modifications.  The brakes work perfect with the exception of the very loud whoosh I get when pushing the pedal.

Im pulling the engine and wiring harness this weekend.  I would like to pull the booster as well since I have it all apart and I can step into the bay.  Ive also go to replace the hoses for the windshield washer.  The booster, harness plug and washer hoses all occupy the same turf on the firewall.

My 67 200/C4 coupe has factory power drum brakes.  It has Im pretty sure the original FoMoCo brake booster.  It needs a rebuild.  I have converted the car to 5 lug drum brakes and at some point will do K/H disc brakes on the front.

This is not a high value car and I am making it a "keep me busy" in retirement project.  I am installing a 250, EAPS, AC and at some point a T5.

I do not want to have the brake booster rebuilt, I feel like its a waste of a good booster that could be better used on another car.  Is there a generic booster that I can substitute that will do the job?  When I go to the K/H disc, I will also go manual on the brakes.  My 65 289/C4 coupe has manual disc/drum and I am happy with that setup.

Can I disconnect the vacuum and bypass the booster until I do the power to manual swap?  I will probably do brakes and EAPS together since I have to pull the seats to make enough room for me to get under the dash to swap the pedal and pull the steering column.
