I have attached a picture of an item I am needing. It is the linkage that goes from the brake booster rod to the brake petal. My car is a 1970 GTX with power drum brakes.

I see that linkage pop up on ebay every so often. That linkage is a must to install a power brake booster on a 66 and up b-body.

Just why is it a must? I did not like that on my 64, so I put the booster straight on the firewall with the reinforcement plate. Just had to enlarge the holes a tad. This pic was before the paint, and making several brake lines before I finally got it right.

I want to keep the car original.

The power booster on 65 and back bolts directly to the brake pedal.
The reason this is needed is because the brake booster on 66 and up is moved up higher on the firewall than a non brake booster car.

That makes sense.
