There’s no easy way to put a modern booster on an early bird. The hood latches don’t clear. Move the battery to the trunk and the brake pedal over where the clutch would be. Not much help on a manual transmission.
I’m using a hydroboost off the power steering. It’s way light, I wouldn’t recommend it. But I ran a set up probably like yours for years. It’s just how it is.
No idea on a 64. Different style booster, but here’s a link for that
Here’s a link on that question. Read down a bit.

Thanks for the info and first link. It is a midland and has silicone fluid that I assume has been in since converting to disc. The fluid is purple and very clean in the MC. I’ll make sure that vacuum is sufficient and see if I can hear the diaphragm moving. Should the pedal still drop a little when starting if it’s working? Thanks for any more info. Here’s a photo of the unit.
