You need a 1967+ power brake booster, a 1967+ drum brake dual master cylinder, and a 1967+ proportioning valve.
And brake lines plumbed for dual master cylinder brakes.

Someone must have done this
Thx for the pics but that isn't what I need. Surely someone has made this change before and can tell me specifically what to buy? I see they have rebuilt boosters with and without the mastercylinder, So I need to know if theres a bracket, or a special vaccum piece or whatever to make it complete.

Thx Commando, how ya doin?
Why all that stuff? I want what was stock for 66 with the existing mastercyl. Like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/390574941062?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619#ht_3367wt_826

You're nuts if you stay with a single circuit brake system. EVERYBODY upgrades to the dual master cylinder.

From what I see, I would need only a vacuum source but I want to be sure.

but I'd be nuts to stick with my manual brakes too? Going the unstock more complicated route means it won't get done at all, so if something stock will bolt up then I'll do it.

Yep. A vacuum source tapped off from the intake manifold.
A stock '67 system is a direct bolt in. No mods necessary except for new brake lines. After 47 years, you need new brake lines anyway. You're a head on collision waiting to happen as you sit right now.
By the way, nothing wrong with manual brakes. I had a big block in my '66 and manual brakes. Stopped on a dime with 5 cents change left over.
OH!, with a power brake booster, you need a new brake pedal to booster rod.

But all I'm doing is putting a booster behind my manual brakes, so that's ok right?

Does my car need or already have a proportioning valve?
Does anyone know what this is, because the sellers don't!
When looking to buy the whole assembly, they ask you if it came with a field installed Hydro Valve.

It's "hydraulic valve" as in proportioning valve.

Dual circuit brake systems use them.

It's Not Going to Shift Itself
Your car should only have a distribution block. The proportioning valve would be used for disc/drum applications. If you follow your brake line down to the frame, you will see the fitting down there.
In case you are going to change to a dual master

To be clear, I should only need the refurbished mastercylinder and booster and a vaccum source off the intake to make my single resovoir stock manual brakes work as power drum brakes?
