Hi Guys I purchased a rebuilt original power booster for my 1956 T bird. this is the one that bolts to the inside drivers side inner fender adjacent to the engine. The car is all original other than I currently have disc brakes on the front with a gm dual master cylinder. Can some one tell me how this unit should be hooked up. A couple of photos would also be appreciated thanks Tom
 
From what I have been able to find, the booster is hooked up to the front discs only. To balance the braking without a proportioning valve the rear brake wheel cylinders are replaced with 55 T-Bird wheel cylinders, which have a 7/8" diameter. The 56 has 15/16" diameter wheel cylinders. I haven't done this myself but was looking into it for my 56 Bird.
 
Ventport is correct. Power is connected to the front only, smaller diameter cylinders in the back.
