Holy triple post Batman!

MPB = Master Power Brakes

You can also look on eBay. Those run just under 300. Also give www.mustangsteve.com a try. He sells plans for a DIY set-up that uses auto parts store parts which as we all know come with warranty.

You could try giving them a call

They sell a booster with the factory master cylinder but there are other options

Thanks Fred, I hear some bad thing about Mustang Steve's set up. I heard the pedal ratio is wrong?

Thank you for your answer.

I did not see the booster and master cylinder for sale on their website. What is with the electric master cylinder. I see a vacuum pump, that has to be pretty noisy with the pump running under the dash. I know my neighbor has a pump for this air ride and that thing drive me crazy when I ride with him.

Does anybody know if the booster and master cylinder set up fits the 66 with stock shock towers?

I have seen many 65-66 cars with power brakes with no shock tower mods. Here is one I had picked up from eBay a while back but never drove it.

Most people put the pump in the engine compartment, not the interior.

So you're not interested in the excellent 64-66 booster/master I posted?

Looks as if you are getting a good bit of info here, some good---No won't go there.

If you are running the SSBC setup, have realized it is quality product, then you might inquire about using a SSBC Booster/Master.

Yes, SSBC does make a setup for the Automatic transmission 65 66. If a 4/5 speed, it will not fit.

Mustang Steve Cable clutch setup is the Cats Meow with the better, Straight push, non several pivot setup bracket as the old old original one. More moving parts, more fail.

That pictured one is to fit standard like already stated. Scott Drake and them all sell the same one. Unlike the picture, it comes chromed now. Be prepared to take it apart and clean out the chrome chips though.
