I am thinking of putting a power brake booster in my 76 Nova . The brakes are horrible right now and I need to improve them . Has anyone gone this route . would appreciate any help.

The car has new calipers , rotors , drums , pads, shoes, spring kit . I am going to try to bleed them when I get a chance . I just thought a booster would give me more pedal pressure . Could the master cylinder be gone?

Thanks for all the advice Denny . I appreciate it . As soon as I can I will check that stuff out . Popped my shoulder out at work last week and trying to recover . Have a good X-MAS. Thanks again.

can you run a booster on the nova ? this is the one with the big block in it. and has a big cam in it? if you do not have enough vacuum you can run a vacuum pump on it to make the booster work or a vacum can.if not stoping good look at the push rod if it is bent for the master

Thanks Pat I will look at the rod. The motor is pretty lopey . I might have to run a canister.
