The plunger on the new booster m/c assembly isn't as long as the plunger on the old m/c and won't reach the brake pedal. Is there an aftermarket linkage I can buy to remedy this?

You are missing the bracket assembly and linkage check ebag
 
I did this years ago and don't recall all the details but the underhood reinforcement plate and linkage between the pedal and booster had to be changed out with PB-specific parts. The brake pedal was fine - it may be drilled for both power and manual attachment points - can't remember for sure.

I just ordered a power brakes booster bracket from Pirate Jack's. It looks like it may work and will probably be fun to install. At 85$ it's only a fraction of the price of the wilwood disc/booster m/c ect. that I have already sunk into the conversion. Hopefully it works and doesn't take long to arrive. Thanks for the advice. I wish I had known about this site sooner.
