Gents,

I'm working on my Coronet right now, and trying to figure out what is the proper brake booster for my car.   It has 4 wheel power drums from the factory.
I've seen 68 Coronet RT's with both a Midland Ross, and Bendix. 

Thanks!

Midland Ross is used with four wheel drum brakes, and the Bendix is used with front disc brakes and rear drums.

Yeapers !!! 

UNLESS, it was a powered-drum 426 HEMI equipped car...... Then, it would be the Bendix........... Just like my former '68 Hemi Charger. It was powered-brakes, drums all the way around. But, it came with the Bendix.....
