Car - 72 Chevelle

Has power drum brakes currently. Wanting to upgrade the fronts to disc. Dumb question - do I need buy a kit that includes the power brake booster or can I continue to use my existing one?

Thinking of buying the kit below. Under $400 before shipping (doesn't come with booster).

Thanks

You should be able to reuse your OE booster without any issues, just make sure that your disc master cylinder and booster pushrod match one another in terms of length versus depth in the MC piston.
