want smaller brake booster
I would like to install a smaller brake booster to make room for taller valve covers. The car is a 1973 formula . There are stock height covers on there now and there is very little clearance. I was wondering if there is a smaller one available that will bolt up without major "engineering...complications." Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Never checked this, but I've heard that a 1972 Ferd Pinto Wagon master cyl will bolt on.

The 79-81 WS6 T/A booster (4 wheel disc) is rounder in shape & appears to be a smaller diameter than the convential & WS4 style.
I have one I can measure,but NOT here.(it may take a few days before I get to it. |

2manyT/A's is correct. The WS6 booster is much smaller in diameter and will bolt right in. PM me if you need a picture, I have a couple of them.

Master Power Brakes wants 250.00 to make it happen. My local parts store wants 150.00 + 40.00 core charge for a WS6 booster. Anybody know where I can get one for less ?

We see a VERY high failure rate on reman boosters here at my shop. Hate to use them, fortunately we don't have to very often.
