I believe you need to either replace the brake pedal assembly with one designed for power brakes, or you need an adjustable rod.

On my 66 - I just had to use an adjustable rod - the other thing that I had to do was to use some brackets for the booster and widen the opening in the firewall so the booster would not sit too low and interfere with my clutch rod ... but that was on a 66 ...

i just did this on my 67 hope this helps! , i had 4 wheel non power drum, to 4 wheel disk!

you need to ditch your old brke pedal and get a power berake pedal, then it axtually attaches hights on the mount, there is a hole for it and when you get the new pedl it will come with all supplied hardware see pics below
