    Question power brake booster

     



    The guy who did the original assembly on my 37 IHC panel truck used the firewall-mounted power brake assembly from a 1979 Camaro, complete with pedals. The Camaro has a sloped firewall, so when this booster and master cylinder are adapted to the truck's upright firewall, they are tilted back about 15 degrees from level. Will this seriously affect it's operation?

    it will be ok as long as the master cylinder reservoir holds enough fluid to fill the wheel cylinders up when you apply the brakes.
