In case you're not aware, there are three pedal assembles for at least the '66 Pontiac full-size cars (possibly '65 as well), and what your car has currently does affect what you should order and how you want the engine compartment to look.
If you're converting to power brakes and currently have a manual brake pedal set, it would look more "factory" and give you more room in the engine compartment if you ordered a MasterPower kit for an OE power brake car and then changed your pedal assembly to a factory power brake assembly. This would eliminate the pedal ratio adaptor bracket that would sit between the MasterPower booster and the firewall to account for your shorter OE manual brake pedal.
If you're aware of this already, great. If not, let me know and I can provide pictures to show what I'm referring to.

Yes Ben,
Mine was originally a power drum brake car & after reading your earlier post about how you removed the bracket & then had to figure out the pedal & rod, I am glad mine was power because it does really look better mounted right to the firewall! Trevor from MP Brakes actually asked me that directly (about how the booster was mounted) I ordered my kit Monday with a chrome booster, painted master & the disc conversion kit, but did not upgrade to the cross drilled & slotted rotors..
Again thanks for the detailed thread! Below is mine, it is further along, but this was the last picture. Tough building 3 cars at the same time when I don't have time for one, but I am heavily addicted!
God Bless
Bill
