"........you just need to cut he eyelet off of the booster pushrod. Then mount the booster and bracket to the firewall. Temporarily install your original master pushrod on the pedal. Then align the two pushrods, and make a mark on both, where you can cut them both and join them together. This can be done by welding them together, threading and using a coupling nut, or using a sleeve over both and bolting or pinning them together.
On my '66 Suburban, I retained the drum/drum brakes, installed a '72 Impala booster with a power brake '67-'70 master cylinder. This is when I designed my bracket in 1992. That setup has been on there for over 120,000 miles with no problems.
Also, there is absolutely no need for a bellcrank assembly to make this work."
