Brake pedal assy and booster

Made some great progress today!  Troy came over to help and we were able to get the lower steering column mount, brake pedal assembly, and booster all figured out.

I worked on the brake pedal assy some yesterday, it was a really tight fit behind the column.  I figured out where I wanted it, but there was interference with the shift linkage.  I had some ideas about how to resolve that, but Troy suggested moving the column out just a little bit further from the firewall would give us the room we needed and sure enough it looked good.  With that sorted out we set the pedal aside for the moment and worked on the lower column mount.  We saved the mounting plate from the Vic body and positioned that in the firewall.  It's just temporarily tacked in place with a couple screws until Troy can bring his welder over.

Next we mounted the brake booster, which required even more holes in my Swiss cheese firewall.  This area will all be replaced by new steel, now that we know what holes are needed.  Here's the booster in place.

The pedal assembly bolts up to the studs on the back of the booster, and here's the pedal in place.

The pedal arm may have to be lengthened a bit, we'll see how it feels with the seat in place.

This was really important progress today, as positioning of these parts dictates how much room I have to install other critical parts such as the PCM and the main wiring harness plug.  I will be focusing on those next, as well as the gas pedal.
