Finished swapping out brake booster. not really much of a write up just some pictures of the swap.

old booster and m/c

new booster ready to go in.

new booster and m/c installed.
booster and m/c are from an 85 F350...only issue that I ran into was the brake line from the m/c to the proportioning valve had a different fitting...no parts houses in the area had an adapter so i had to cut off old fitting and install a new on on the hard brake line (yes I used a double flare tool.

Your exterior has to be one of the best looking Broncos here, IMO.

What's the MSD thing above the booster ?

Looks really good. An upgrade that I need to do before I get my bronco going. You said you had trouble with the fitting from the MC to the porp. valve. Does my 83 have a porp. valve? I haven't messed with my brakes that much yet. Just checkin. Looking good.
