I am going to install power brakes on my 68 Mustang, since I have switched from the 6 to 8 cyl....Does anyone know what is original on this...the Midland or the Bendix power brake booster? Does it matter which one I install? As always, thanks, and Happy New Year  ------------------

You can use either Ralph as long as you use the corresponding master cylinder and brake rod. ------------------

By brake rod do you mean brake pedal?

No Ralph, the actuating rod that goes from the booster to the pedal. ------------------

Hey not to sound too goofy, but where do I get the rod? Does it come with the power booster and master cylinder?

Sometimes yes and sometimes no Ralph. It all depends on the supplier. Usually if you buy a complete assembly they both come supplied. SS brakes sells then that way. ------------------

If you find a booster that needs to be rebuilt, I can have it done for $239.95 + shipping. That's for either booster. Make sure it has the spacer, if needed. I don't remember which one needs it, but I'm sure one of these experts can fill us in. There's so much knowledge here, it takes time to digest it all!!
