From the brief description in your note, it sounds like your '62 Imperial (LeBaron Convertible??? should be a Crown) has the correct booster. If the car doesn't stop well and all of those parts are new, it is possible that either there is still AIR in the lines, or the shoe adjustment has been done incorrectly. Both the bleeding procedure and the shoe adjustment are very specific and critical to the operation of the brakes.
The factory shop manual for 1962 Imperial also includes the various 1962 Chrysler models. Be sure that you are focusing on Imperial applications when referring to the manual.

> Self-Introduction: I recently bought this Imperial out of Washington state and am having trouble stopping it in a timely manner. The previous owner had done alot of repairs on it.He had the brake shoes sent outAnd reshoed,all new wheel cylinders, and mastercylinder, one drum (used) replaced and all four turned.It still didn't stop to his or my liking. Now here's my question.I have the 62 service manuel.In it, it says the brake booster is of a tandem diaphram type.The picture in the manuel shows the front going down at a 55 degree angle then the master cylinder bolts onto the front. The one thats on the car now is flat faced and doesn't have an angle on the front.The booster re
builder that i've taken it to said I have the wrong one on and should have the tandem diaphram put on. I talked with one of the booster rebuilders you recomended and he said stay with what came on the car. Trouble is I don't know which one should come on this car?
