The brake light switch upgrade is the BEST upgrade I have done to date. I have a 66 1800S and it took about thirty minutes to install. Now the brake lights come on as soon as the pedal moves 1/4". The kit was complete, well designed, and easy to install. Well worth the money. The Alternator conversion is the second best upgrade followed closely by the electronic ignition. All three are must have for daily drivers.

As for the brake booster - if it works leave it alone - if it's failing they are great to bury in the back yard. Re-plumb the brake line from the master cylinder to the hydraulic switch. These cars do not really need the booster for normal driving.

Good luck....
