The 1800s AC is not in the car right now (above) and I am restoring it. The original booster (identical to the 220 unit below) mounts on the inside of the black bracket in the center of the fender well.
Have owned and driven 122s and 1800s cars (15) for over 40-years and only the last two, a 1968 220 and a '67 1800s are equipped w/dual master cylinders with brake boosters.
Both cars have dealer-installed when new Frig-A-King AC units and with the compressor and hoses in place and the original Girling booster, access is mostly cutoff on the drivers side of the engine compartment below the AC unit and the booster (more so the 1800s).
All of the other earlier cars have had a single master cylinder and no booster so I know that the pedal has to be pushed harder to stop.
Anyone here that has had experience with the stock dual master and no booster?
