I installed a speedway brake conversion and power booster to my 62, f100, with 292. Now I can't remove valve cover from driver side. What are my options now? Ditch power brake, or is there another solution? Yep, I know, I should have thought of that sooner. Bob
 
You're not the first one or the last one with that problem on many different vehicles. A picture would help, but sometimes a smaller diameter double diaphragm booster will provide enough assist and give some clearance. Put up some pictures with a tape measure along side, someone here will probably have the answer without starting all over.
 
I fitted a 7" dual diaphragm booster with a corvette master cylinder. I used a set of 57 Chev booster brackets which kicked the booster up at a bit of an angle which provides adequate clearance of the rocker covers.
 
There are bracket kits available to raise the booster and master cylinder. Speedway Motors has several in the catalog.
