Sir! I went to check on my '73 version disti and checked with brass feeler gauge, finding about .004" play (side to side) on the shaft. Thinking I had too wide a gap, I reduced it to what I *thought* was .008". Now(!) I know what that ticking sound is! Re-gapped at .010" and the tick was on...

Put one in myself just to save the battery at first, then as a backup to the mechanical that sort of pushes fuel most of the time... :) Separate, insulated fuel line from the back, added check valves so that each pump is not pushing the other! Good on ya to mention.

:lol:

I enjoyed just checking out your awesomely clean machine!

Welcome to Sept! Anyone, else, buy one? Have a good weekend.

FYI, my '66 300 booster was replaced by Booster Steve (Booster Dewey Exchange at the time - BTW, I understand they both retired and the new outfit is in WA state?) with the mid-70s COP car Midland dual 9". He had to shorten the rod on the Midland Ross single that I used for exchange (was the...

Thank you, Boydsdodge.. E-Booger, eh? Ebayer still? I'll check.

Oh Master War Lock, Pray tell this minion the model number(s) of your cache? Thank you!

9" Makes a difference! (I could not help it. Cheers and good weekend!) Thanks, All. I feel better upgrading, now, instead of insisting on the period only. The limitation (not insurmountable) is the metric attach for the brake lines. I may look for some brass adapters... ?

Anyone get more info/updates? I have a 66-300 and converted 4-drum 2 4-disc and the booster was changed to a dual diaphragm Midland 9" type that does have the shorter rod. It's in need of repair, so I wanted an interim solution to swap out while I get the big balloon fixed. I am willing to...

On another note: Aren't there other boosters from B-bodies that would mechanically hookup where a C-Body power booster used to? Assuming some rod exchange maybe?

Thanks for your comments. Would you suggest I keep my 9" dual-diaphragm Midland (that needs some internal check valve I'm told) and send it in, and/or, buy a 10" single-diaphragm that is much easier to get? I could do both, I guess, to keep it on the road. Note: Was a power brake 4-drum...

Power Brake Booster Exchange | Providing Parts for Classic Cars (boosterdeweyexchange.com) I used Steve's service with no issues. He was very helpful with my 4-disc conversion! And his assistant, Audrey, is nice to talk to.

Thank you for your effort. :)
