I have a 71 challenger that was a manual drum brake car, I am converting to power disc and have installed a 9” booster. All good but as expected the original pedal and linkage does not work.
What are my best options? Can I buy a power brake pedal, then what else do I need? If I keep the original pedal what linkage do I need?
Any help would be appreciated

If that brake pedal doesn't work, you'll have to modify it to suit, or fabricate one. AFAIK, there are no alternate brake pedal assemblies anyone offers for this series of car.
 
Keep the same brake pedal and get the power booster linkage that was used on pb cars. Boosters sit higher up and the linkage makes up the difference.
