Swift Sure brake

    I'm installing the  factory Swift Sure Power brake unit in my car.  Would someone with that unit please take a picture of his firewall for me so I can see exactly what hole is  used for the vacuum hose.   I would like to do it correctly the first time.  Thanks in advance.   Jay

Can't answer your question, but I'm wondering where you came up with that silly concept of doing it right the first time? That's just not how things are done, Jay.
I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe

Yeah Rich
    That is silly isn't it?   
     FWIW  That is a 1958 Ford illustration of the unit because my 1957 Ford shop manual does not have a better/complete one.
     So I have to go to the experts who know for sure which way to run that hose..   Jay

If and when I see the one local Fairlane again I'll see if he has power brakes. I know the other two 57's in the area don't.

Where E-codes available with power brakes? Does the 2x4 manifold have a vacuum port?

  Thank you very much.  I certainly will look forward to that but don't do too much snow digging if you can help it.

Here is a pic of were  the hose goes thru the firewall on my 58 ranchero with factory installed sure swift PB . The hose is in the hole next to the wire bulk head hole. Hope this helps

    Thank you very much.
    That's perfect now I can punch that particular plug out..   It looks like you have a dual master cylinder like I do.  Is there any improvement with the Swift Sure system?   Jay

   Thank you very much for the picture.  Now it is very clear where the hole location is.  Jay
