There are two tabs one is just below the steering column where the fire wall bends back, The second is on the side of the trans tunnel across from the floor drain plug. I have a munci and it is on the passenger side of the tunnel. The cable comes across and over the trans.

(The original cylinder is to pitted to rebuild). It came with a 1 inch cylinder but as I am looking for a new one I see that the HD brakes used a 7/8" cylinder. As far as I can tell the rest of the components are the same. Am I better off using the original 1" or will I gain anything with the 7/8". I am restoring this vehicle back to original, it is far from numbers matching but I want everything to look as original as possible. There are quite a few different manufactures but the original delco is not available any suggestions on what to buy, Dorman, A1 Cardone, Centric, Reybestos, Bendix, or Wagner. I also just realized that when I replaced the floor I didn't replace the return spring retainer that is welded in. can anyone give me a measurement for the correct location, just the distance from the "Heel" or "toe" bends at the lower cowl area, this would have been a lot easier while it was on the rotisserie rather than back on the frame. I also omitted the speedo cable retainers if someone can give me an idea where they were originally locsated. Thanks Chum Nault
