    You need to be more specific ~

    Are you running stock Bendix drum brakes now ? .

    or a disc brake front conversion ? .

    Hot Rod ? work rig ? .

    L6 or V-ATE engine ? .

    Etc.

    The good folks here have done this many times over and you'll soon get your good info .

    I've used our sponsors booster on my 47' and also an Ebay booster on my 53', both are excellant and give your car much more of a new car feel. Stopping distances are unchanged as the underlying Huck/bendix systems are unchanged, but you can get down on them with much less effort on your Quads.
