    Hi, so I found a 1977 mercury comet doner car. It has power drum brakes all around. My 1974 comet has manual drum brakes. Can I bolt the whole booster/master on to my 74 with no major changes?

    Thanks

    I think I read that the pedal support and pedal will also need to be swapped because of the angle of the master cylinder.

    That is correct. Some of the brake lines are also in different locations, as well as the prop valve.
