I have just converted my single bowl drum brake system into a dual bowl power boosted front disc system. My problem is..where do I pick up the brake light switch now that the old master cylinder is gone? That had the switch attached to it. Can I install a switch from a 65 on the brake pedal and use the same wiring? Also where do I pick up a good vacum for the booster. Right now I am teeing off the trany vacum line.

You can reuse the stock hydraulic pressure switch under the hood. You just need to install a brass "T" in your front brake line exiting the master cylinder. This way you don't have to mess with your pedal, extending wiring, etc.
As for the vacuum line it depends upon what intake manifold you are using, as some have multiple vacuum sources, but at the least you can install a vacuum "tree" into the single vacuum port you have now with a fitting for the booster and anothe for the transmission line. You can find these in Mustang parts catalogs, the salvage yard, or I've even seen them in the "Help" section at auto parts stores.
