    Rookie working '67 Newport brakes: Master and Booster findings-

    Usually, hissing with the brake pedal is depressed is a sign the booster is bad, probably a leaking internal diaphragm. A leaking master cylinder allows brake fluid into the booster and degrades the internal components which are not designed to be in contact with brake fluid. If the internal...

    67 Monaco brake booster

    Boosters can fail quickly with a leaking master cylinder, brake fluid gets inside the booster and the rubber goes to heck, cracks and leaks. Dave

    ...for '70 and later and their hot-air snorkle air cleaners' emissions regulations. LH sides will also have to have clearance for power brake boosters and steerimg linkages, which can vary from body platform to platform and model year. Other than that, it's the exit angle, location, AND...

    Will a Generic Dorman check valve work in my Midland-Ross booster?

    ...Yes, there are highway robbers out in Cyberland jacking folk with prices like $115 for an NOS check valve! I see that entire, working brake boosters seem rare as boar teats, including even the bottom of the barrel, Cardon't. I'm not subsidizing THOSE criminals again. So, Dorman makes a...

    Need Brake Booster for 69 Fury which one?

    Well I just checked rockauto just now . For 68 now no boosters at all. Must have gotten one of the last ones. It's a Cardone unit. If it gets me through the summer I will be happy as I swallowed the core charge so I can send my original to be rebuilt by Dewey in OR maybe this winter. Just out of...

    hissing sound when braking

    www.boosterdeweyexchange.com will rebuild it properly. If this is a Bendix dual diaphragm unit on a disc brake car, this unit is not considered user rebuildable, send it out to be rebuilt. Harmon has the rebuild kits for mopar boosters www.harmonclassicbrakes.com/boosters-and-parts/ Dave

    Rebuilt Booster question

    ...so, I think that somebody left out the retaining snap ring or it popped out of place. E-Mail Booster Dewey the same photos and ask them to be sure. In section 5 of the service manual for brake boosters it shows how to take the booster apart and there would appear to be a snap ring involved...

    1963 Chrysler 300 disc brake conversion

    ...I've struck out here. I can't find any specific recommendations for ones that would fit early Cs. (I know I can't just use drum brake boosters.) Master cylinder: Obviously must be dual disc/drum. Would like one that looks Mopar-ish (no giant Wilwood logo or the like). Combination block...

    Recommendation for brake booster rebuild??

    Yeah, NOS won't be happening. I bought a rebuilt one from Rock Auto a few years back with intent of sending my original to Dewey but still haven't got around to it. Rock auto doesn't have in stock anymore but some other places may, would be worth a shot. Beware there are actually 2 different...

    68 fury terrible brakes

    First off www.inlinetube.com can supply the replacement brake lines. I do not use stainless tubing as it is very difficult to get the connections on stainless tube to seal because it is very hard and does not compress to form a good seal. If the brake tubing is shot, the hoses are not far...

    Disc Brakes for an Imperial

    I edited your post to let you explain the issue to yourself. I'm sure the bulk of his business is from folks looking for more common stuff and not trying to engineer that which never existed in the first place. The sad part is he continues to try to quick solve to fulfill desires like yours...

    Loosing break fluid

    There are very few reman boosters for C-Bodies available. What few there are will usually be Cardon't's which in general terms are a POS. Pay Dewey or some other quality re-builder to do the job right the first time. The other issue is if yours is a disc brake car, the Bendix dual diaphragm...

    brake booster ID

    So I have a few pictures of different boosters and Im confused about what will work or wont. I have a 67 newport custom with power drum. The booster is not original. So i was told that the clamp style 50-3520 booster was correct, but I go to the junkyard looking for a rebuildable core and I...

    Has anyone used a Muscle Car Brakes drum kit on a C-body?

    Don, please DO keep us posted if you purchase these ceramic 11x3" front shoes, presumably as part of the Stage III package MCB offers. I'm extremely curious about the quality of every component offered in these packages, as I intend to keep drum brakes exclusively for Mathilda and any other...

    Brake Booster rebuild needed?

    You probably have a bad booster, especially if you hear a sustained hiss when you apply the brakes. These boosters are usually not a stock item at the parts house, so your best bet will probably be to send it out to be rebuilt. www.boosterdeweyexchange.com does a good job of rebuilding...

    Disc Brakes for an Imperial

    This is not entirely true and it is kind of offensive. I don't understand how you would know what my "depth" is. How do you know what I am doing? I have heeded and thanked everyone for all the the great advice I've been given. I haven't decided on a plan or spent any money except on brake shoes...

    Power brake system

    If the car already has power brakes, www.boosterdeweyexchange.com does a really good job of rebuilding the brake boosters. www.inlinetube.com has many of the Mopar brake line patterns in stock and can fabricate pretty much any brake line from a sample. Dave
