I will be doing the same conversion this summer, and just like you with original ford parts. I've been told that the non-power brake pedal can be used, but it will fade closer to the floor than what a power brake pedal would. Did you change out your master cylinder as well? I know you need the M/C for power brakes. I'm not sure what the difference is, but I heard the bore is different. Also, did you replace the check valve on the booster as well. Some rebuilders don't include new ones on rebuilt boosters.

Here's a few photos of the Power brake pedal for a 66, I hope this might help some.

Yea I sure have, and as you stated they look almost identical. Of course the non-powered brake pedal is still on my 66, so I could lay them next to each other, but after I placed the powered pedal next to the non powered pedal, I saw that the angle on the power pedal was higher. As for now, that is the only comparison I am able to do.
