American Motors: brake booster for 72 Javelin, vacuum line, disc brakes

Question
Hi Kevin, My 72' Javelin has manual disc (front) drums back. It brakes good except for the pedal pressure required. What parts do I need to add a booster. I have knee problems and they get to hurting in traffic. MANY THANKS

Answer
You should be able to bolt up a booster to your Javelin and use the same master cylinder. Be sure to get the correct booster, one for a V-8 w/disc brakes. Try an auto parts store. Yours is a tandem booster. Run the vacuum line to the intake manifold.
