I'm sure the factory did their due diligence when they developed your system. According to the formula designed for power assisted brakes, your booster creates 673 lbs of pressure. The master cylinder also has a formula but I don't have that handy. Apparently the 9.5 single is sufficient with...

I know the vacuum has an affect on how much pressure a booster can muster. Luckily I found out enough to decide on what I needed for components for my needs. I find it alarming how much mis-matching parts can effect the final outcome. It is no wonder why there are so many threads on brake...

You have to remember that NASCAR used drum brakes on the 200MPH stock cars, albeit huge ones, until 1975. Most of what I see when people ask about disc conversions is one of two things. One is the drum brakes on the car are somehow screwed up or just worn out and the owner either doesn't...

...all the parts are the same and any auto supply can get them, which is about 45+ years out of date. Even back then, the power disc brake boosters would probably need to be ordered, too. The main issue with fitment is the diameter of the booster body, plus its "dual-diaphram" length issue...

This is a well established shop that rebuilds all sorts of boosters, pumps, etc. for the commercial trucking industry. Of course they rebuild stuff for cars and light trucks too. Plating is extra. My booster was black and was peeling from contact with brake fluid. Under the paint was bare...

Is that your NOS Bendix booster? I believe you posted about that last year in the thread linked below. A larger picture may help as well. The numbers stamped are probably manufacturing numbers and have little to do with the catalogued part number, and it may be superceded to a later style...

If I were to install a disc brake system on Gertrude, Wilwood is the only vendor with any serious reputation I would trust. I've only seen this "Leeds" label for a month or so, and I share your speculations regarding what they vend, and for who. The Chinese have become quite adept at using...

I'll shoot them an email then! I got nothing to lose. My car has been a local car since it was new. My uncle used to park next to this thing in his 65 Newport in my local ShopRite's parking lot in the 1970s haha. It's got 412,000 miles on it, and I basically saved it from the scrapyard when...

POWER BRAKE BOOSTER EXCHANGE Home of Booster Dewey, Since 1990, Power Brake Booster Exchange has been rebuilding vacuum brake boosters for classic, muscle, and sports cars from our shop in Portland, Oregon. We are now located in Lynnwood, Washington! No longer in Oregon...... :) ,.

T They are not my calculations. I am not a design engineer by any means. I got some info off of the internet a few years ago while trying to figure out why my 68 Charger single 8" diaphragm booster worked fine with drum brakes but not after I upgraded to front discs. . I posed a question on how...

Leave the master connected to the lines and just swap boosters. You may even be able to use one of the large diameter single diaphragm boosters from a fusey if they aren't going to use the column shift linkage.

Thanks for the help! I had just put all new brake parts on this car and of course the last component (the booster) isnt doing its thing. The car does stop now which is good but i have to stomp on it.

...master cylinder at Rock Auto. While I don't think you need to at this point, if you want to, you can send the booster to Vacuum Brake Boosters | Power Brake Booster Exchange, Lynwood for rebuilding, but I would stay away from the Leeds replacement as that's a GM based unit that you may have...

Finding and using used factory disc brake parts, competently rebuilt, will provide a much more ROBUST braking system than ANY aftermarket kit. Check other threads in here for what to look for/get. The ONE plus for Wilwood is their longevity in business. I remember when they first appeared on...

you might try contacting this guy if you want a factory type setup Ram Man / Helpful Videos / Brake Boosters

OK, that's a drum brake booster and master. So then your 65 definitely has the brake pedal setup you need. Although it may seem to work with the disc brakes, that drum booster will NOT give you enough boost to fully energize the disc setup, and will let you down when you need the brakes the...

An electric vac pump and a vac reserve canister both help vacuum intensive applications such as brake boosters, but I say such is just more baroque design applied to a marginally good idea. Still, IFF one is determined to use a brake booster, both of these additions would help, sho' 'nuff...

Booster Steve is THE right person to get what you need . I suggest calling him

You sure about that? I phoned wildcat and a few other sources, they said there's nothing, only rebuildable cores, which I of course already have. Insult to injury, the nuts came straight off without a fight. Neato. Though that said, the pushrod moves very freely, the seal around it...

EDIT: I stumbled on a thread that didn't pop up in my previous searches: FYI B & C Body Bendix disc brake dual diaphragm boosters compared 67 Fury. Currently have the crappy Midland Ross booster and want a Bendix but as you know, originals are rarer than Hens Teeth. Question for the...
