SO, we had to do a mod to the brake pedal assembly to take care of hydroboost issues, and it looks like the original brake switch that works with the pedal isn't gonna work.

I am trying to find out about a brake switch that mounts to the master cylinder... I am pretty sure that the master cylinder we got (to go with the 78 Lincoln Continental hydroboost) is from 78 Lincoln, as well...

Can someone (maybe TOFIC :)) let me know which brake switch to look for at the parts store? Again, this is the one that mounts TO the master cylinder...

Thanks!

Just put in vacuum boost and the pedal rod from the angle bracket didn't have the "foot" or extra thickness between the pedal pin and the original BLswitch. I just cut a thin strip of body sheetmetal and bent it over the front of the switch to make up the difference in thickness. That made the brake lights work fine..
Looking at the different but same looking BLS at NPDlink.com there is no way to tell if there is a difference.

I upgraded to the 78-79 bronco switch. I made a bracket from a piece of L-metal and stuck it in. It works good.
