Here's What I Used On My 64'. Its A 7" Dual Diaphragm From Performance Online With The Drum/Drum Setup. http://www.performanceonline.com/1957-6 ... KIT-17990/

FYI, I put disc up front and a new dual MC and proportioning valve WITHOUT the booster. Works great without extra expense of a booster. IMHO.

I added the same one from the link above and used the Speedway disc kit... They had the best price shipped and worked like a charm.

I don't run a booster with my disc setup either, the positive, solid pedal feel is simply awesome!
If I get the 79 I am looking at that needs a booster I may just delete it.
You really don't need power with disc brakes.

The opprotunity came up to buy a '67 and or a '68 OKLA Highway Patrol cruizer from a gentelman in OKC. The '67 was sweet, the '68 not so sweet. Thought about it a while, bought them both. Took the '68 home first, pulled the PI intake, replaced it with cast iron. Turned around sold it the next week, a few bucks a head of both of them. Earl Shived the doors & roof back white. Drove it for about a year, had a blast. Raced it at the Shelby meet drags in Tulsa.

As far as I could tell that '67 came with four piston Kelsey Hays disc, single resivoir fruit jar M.C. NO BOOSTER. If it had a proportioning valve I couldn't ever find it. The impression it left on me was the 428 would easily care it into the 125 MPH range and the brakes would stop it in a lot less time.

In the search to make everybody happy engineers have made a lot of cars way more complicated than they need to be.
