Sorry 1963r2, answer #1 is not correct.

Any other thoughts on this one?

I would say it would help slip the brake booster pedal rod through the firewall boot.

I'm guessing the glass would install easier into the rubber with a talc powder

Yes, I'd go along with that, however, that's not it!

So, the ANSWER here is #3, BRAKE BOOSTER...........Brad came the closest by mentioning the booster, however, his reason for using talcum powder was not correct.

 

From the Bendix 'Master-Vac' repair manual..... during re-assembly........."Apply talcum powder to inside wall of rear diaphragm shell."
