few more questions

Sorry I ask alot of questions I'm learning as I go. But was wondering something I seen a photo of a truck close to same year as mine and I noticed something. They had a similar power brake booster to mine with the aftermarket bracket that attaches it to the firewall. But they had theirs slanted downward where mine slanted upwards which way should it be or does it matter.

Re: few more questions

Some master cylinders are slanted and you want to keep the reservoir level.

Re: few more questions

The '67-'72 trucks has the master cylinder angled down to the front. I don't really know why they are that way. Most every other vehicle has the master cylinder either level or angled down to the rear slightly. My booster brackets mount the booster so that the master is slightly down to the rear. Quite often trucks are higher in the rear, so the angled master helps keep the fluid level parallel to the reservior in the master. It probably isn't a big deal, that's just my thinking.
