'56 Victoria with 292 (?). I'm trying to install one of Ole Irish Daves master cylinders and booster. Everything fits great. The only queston I have is the vacumn line off the back of the "teapot" seems to be to small and since I never use the vacumn wipers will the vacumn line from the fuel pump for the wipers work as a vacumn line for the booster????

Thanks Jim

My buddy with a 55 2bbl 272 tee'd into the vacuum line to the wiper motor.Works fine.Just a suggestion.I have the same booster on mine and I redrilled the hole in the pedal arm lower down so the pushrod is not on the extreme angle as it is when you use the stock hole.Also I used a rubber body plug as a dust seal where the pushrod comes through the firewall.I cut a series of straight cuts from the centre to the edge of the plug.This allows the rubber to flex when the pushrod moves but provides a fairly decent dust seal.There is one size body plug that is exactly the right size for the hole in the firewall.
