    got a power brake set up off a wrangler and i'm wondering if i can adapt it to my cj5,ive upgraded to 11' all around and i realize i dont need power but i thought i might be able to use the dual master on my project. ill be putting a dana 30 with disc's on in the future. i'm re mounting to the firewall if this will work but im not sure how to feed the booster? anyone see any problems?

    The booster uses manifold vacuum to provide the boost. Most cars have a connection on the intake manifold for power brakes - typically about 3/8" in diameter and connecting directly to the intake passages.

    The usual problem with boosters is their size. Make sure you have enough room so that the cylinder and booster do not interfere with stuff that's already under the hood.
