Brake booster clearance
 
1 Attachment(s)
I have a 6.0 in a 68. I'm going to get a new brake booster/master combo. Is there enough clearance between the coil and brake booster with an 11" booster?
I see there is a single diaphragm 9 inch booster available now for LS swaps. Should I use a smaller booster?
Can you post pictures of clearance?
thanks

Have you checked into hyroboost as a option?..especially if you've got a clearance or vacuum issue

I'm not interested in hydroboost.
A vacuum booster is good enough for me.

I had the same problem but not in a truck . I got the dual 8" booster and seems to work just fine . I would think they make one for your truck as well .

Here is a pic of mine with a stock replacement booster. I dont have coils on my heads but they should fit ok.

I am sure you will have enough room with a stock booster in the stock location
This is on the next series chevy truck and all stock brake system

There is not enough room for the full 6000 vortec cover to clear the big booster on my 1968 suburban
