What makes this a hemi booster bracket?
Im getting ready to convert from power to manual brakes before l install the hemi.
Will this allow me to remove the valve cover and which booster do l need?

I believe it is 8" Diameter, maybe some other members here can chime in on this and help..?
The booster diameter is 8 7/8". Measured my booster and Hemi bracket on my car. Bracket measurements close not exact, maybe PLMHEMI can confirm? Booster doesn't fit by my measurements. Rebuilder move them to fit, it is small amount. A hassle Yes! Would not make bracket fit. The booster wouldn't work on disc brakes.
If your worried about removing valve cover with booster on can be done. First remove plugs, remove spark plug tubes 1.3 and 5, 7 comes off with cover ( goes on in reinstalling with cover.( for automatic cars)
Remove front throttle spring and throttle cable bracket. Spring for throttle pressure control linkage. Unbolt cover lift up toward carbs and off it comes.

Spark socket, 3"+ 1" extensions ratchet to loosen plug remove extensions hook socket if plug falls a hose on to plug.
I was talking about removing valve cover for valve adjustment, I might not have been clear. Everybody has a process they're comfortable with.

This is and old post buy maybe I can help clear things up. The oem hemi booster was different than a regular Bendix booster for a b body. The studs coming out of the booster are bigger in diameter and spaced differently. The rod coming out of the back of the booster drops down and is not straight. There may be some internal differences, I am told. The current reproduction that you can still get (possibly) is based on the newer repop booster which is just like the oem one used on non hemi. So, I’m not sure which booster the Newcomb bracket was based on but that would need to be known in order to get a booster. Now, the flat rod that comes out of the bracket that attaches to the brake pedal is different between and e body and b body. The e body is 5/8”or 3/4” longer. I have an oem e body hemi booster and bracket and I could use a b body rod. I might be interested in the bracket if the flat rod is correct for a b body. I have some pictures on my phone if I need to post them.

This Hemi bracket was bought for a 1970 Roadrunner that used an Original Hemi brake booster.
