Default MC & Power Booster Recommendations

Good morning all.
I have original drum brake setup on all 4 wheels, distribution block, suicide cylinder and power booster. The diaphragm on my brake power booster is shot. Since I need to replace the booster, I want to also upgrade the master cylinder. So, for now I want to run all 4 drums but with a new MC and booster.

Can someone recommend make, model and part number for a new master cylinder as well as a SMALLER(in diameter) power booster that will provide enough assist but not require as much vacuum?

Thanks in advance for the assist.
Jeff

Inline tube has what you need , just completed the same upgrade on a 64 GTO , get a master cylinder for a 68 69 firebird / lemans power brake 4 wheel drum from local auto store , inline wants 75.00 for a 15.00 master cylinder . 9" is the small gm power booster .

Chrisp-
Thanks for the help. Aside form the booster and mc, I assume I will also need a new distribution block to welcome the dual lines coming from the mc as well as the lines themselves?
