The thickness of the '67-'72 standard booster bracket is about 2" in the center. Depending on the diameter of the booster you have, there could be interference with a column shifted auto trans, if that is what you have.

The bracket on the new master/booster uses the factory mounting locations. I put a link in my last message so you could see what it looks like. My truck does not have studs anymore. During my LS swap and restoration work I removed the studs from the brake pedal assembly and drilled/tapped those locations in order to use stainless button head socket screws bolted from the firewall. Below is a picture of the engine bay with the factory booster that will be replaced with the new Wilwood master/booster assembly. The new booster is 9" diameter, which should clear OK. I do have column shift, but use the Lokar shifter on an Ididit column. I don't think that clearance will be a problem there either.
I was mainly concerned about the distance between firewall and booster face. I know your bracket pulls the booster closer to the firewall. And the new booster has a boot/rod connection that's about 3" long from the back face. Part of that boot will likely have to stick through (or interfere with) my firewall depending on your design depth.
I may take a chance on it anyway. What is the current lead time for black powder coated version. PM me and let me know how to pay. You can review the pictures/comments below and let me know what you think.
Original booster and master cylinder will be replaced with a Wilwood master and 9" booster.
My firewall no longer has studs from the pedal assembly. They have been removed and drilled/tapped.
I want to be sure that this booster boot length will work with your bracket.
The booster is 9" diameter
