    I'm working on my brothers 71 Comet. It has the factory power brake system from a late 70's Maverick.
    We changed the heads and added roller rockers. The valve covers he had won't clear the rockers.
    So he bought some nice tall aluminum covers but now I can't get the brake booster and bracket in. The valve cover is in the way.
    Rather than buy yet more valve covers, is there a smaller booster I can bolt up?
    The one we have now is about 9 1/2" diameter. A 7" diameter would be much better.

    I searched around for a long time reading old posts but couldn't find what I'm looking for.
    What boosters will fit?
    Thanks
