Hey Chief. Off topic but I think your'e gonna like the 11" booster. Mine is a 9" and I have to stand on pedal a little too much for my liking. That's what was offered from CPP so I didn't question the size.

That's a bummer for me. I just bought a 9" chrome unit. Maybe I should sell it and get a 11" in chrome one.
I was thinking about going all chrome instead of all Yellow zinc in the engine compartment...

Off topic again to clarify/correct my post...

I didn't realize that the reason I didn't have good power assist was not because of the size of the booster, it was the fact that the vacuum port I used on the 1" carb adapter was a blind hole. It was never drilled to expose it to manifold vacuum!

I didn't have poor power brakes; I didn't have any at all! I have since then attached the booster to the carb port.
