Aftermarket booster/master cyl with DRUM brakes?

I am putting a 60 Impala together and want to stick with drum brakes all the way around. It currently has manual brakes, and I would like to upgrade to a modern booster master cylinder combination that will bolt-in but will not require an adjustable proportioning valve to work properly. What are my options? I thought about buying one of the booster/bracket kits from Carsinc and then using a master cycliner from a 67 Pontiac. Does anyone know what combination WORKS?

Thanks,
Daran

You can use the same booster/master that is used for disc/drum, just don't run the prop valve. Go straight to the ports on the master. 8" dual booster with 1" bore master will work great. Make certain all your shoes are tightened properly. Shoes with excess clearance will cause them to lock up at times. If you have a problem with the rears locking up you can add the adjustable Wilwood valve to the rear line.
