1956 Mercury. As you can see in the photos, the brake booster somewhat dominates the space under the hood. I can't even remove the valve cover without first unbolting the booster.
Disks on front, original drums on rear. What can I do to take less room and improve on this arrangement?http://forums.y-blocksforever.com/uploads/images/345324ae-50e1-4404-af95-ad8a.jpg  http://forums.y-blocksforever.com/uploads/images/0951baf9-b618-466a-a1d5-1644.jpg
