68 Booster question

Blue68Coupe · 01-11-2007, 10:18 AM

Hello,

I am doing the granada brake swap on my 68 coupe and I have a booster question. I have the required master cylinder and I am now looking for a brake booster but I am finding that Ford used two different ones. Bendix unit (Without clamp band) and Midland unit (With clamp band). What I can't find is what is the difference and which one should be used for a 289cid with Auto transmission. the local Autoparts store carries both and they are not overly expensive. Any help on this or a 3rd party alternative would be great.

Thanks
