Default Power brake booster

Group,
I am considering a PB booster in my 68 coupe. I am swapping out the current 4 lug front and rear end for a 5 lug (new rear end, new front end except for spindles.) I figured now would be a good time to do power brakes too. It is going to get a 302 and I am going to keep the C4 in it (currently has an I6 200.) Is there a booster that is better than another? Should I get one from NPD of Mustangs Unlimited, or is there something that would work from an Explorer or other comparable junkyard fodder?
Thanks!

For ease of installation I'd go with a stock type Midland or Bendix booster/MC setup from NPD, MU, etc. You never mentioned if you're going disc or drum in front/rear? You will also need to change to a PB pedal to get the braking ratio correct.

68 Coupe,

Just a note on your front spindles (C6OA). Those will accept, bolt on the 67 Mustang K/H style 4 Piston per caliper, 11 19/64" rotors Factory style Disc Brakes!!!

YES, the 6 cylinders all had C6OA spindles,

If you are considering Disc brakes you won't have to change spindles those on there are PERFECT pieces.
