The kit on ebay looks appealing but what power booster do you guys recommend?

Think you had better check in on the HAMB for this one.

Check JAMCO, in Corona, Ca.

Most likely Ebay item is a Jamco unit being sold by re-seller.
As stated check Jamco here---

There have been many posts advising to stay away from Jamco.

My question was: Which booster to use with the ebay kit?

It,s not just the booster you need, it,s the dual master/booster pedal assy. Jamco has it. I have a Jamco disc brake assy in my Merc. along with someone else's dual master/7" booster pedal assy. Never had a problem with Jamco.
See here for ford assy.---

It is really frustrating when I speak clear distinct Standard English and all the responses totally avoid an answer.

The question is WHAT BOOSTER?

There's two types of boosters. Single diaphram and dual diaphram. Either one will work on your car. If you are leaving the pedal assembly under the floor you can only use the 7" booster. You would be fine with the single diaphram type.

You obviously don't even know what a seven inch booster is.
If you checked any of the Jamco reccomended sites you would see WHAT BOOSTER to use. And if you go to this site you will find several that are suitable for your application ( that is if you are capable of reading Standard English)

I believe they were just trying to help you not make a bad decision.I'd rather have someone warn me of a bad product than just let me buy it and waste my money.
