Re: Disc Brake Upgrade Reference Thread

Well that depends on how and where your BB is mounted. I have a BB in my '66 Suburban, and I'm running power brakes, using a '72 Impala booster which is 11 or 12" in diameter. I have no problems at all in removing the valve covers. Of course I moved the engine 2" forward from the original location. But that does not affect the location of the booster in relation to the valve covers.

I replied to your PM regarding the steering box and tie rod question.

Edit: Here is a pic of the booster installed on my '66 Suburban.
