Hi Jengel, To answer your question about compatibility between B-Body and C-body boosters, I'd call Midwest Booster. I'd also talk to them about rebuilding your Midland unit. Midwest Power Products, Morris, IL Another option, that I have not yet tried, but that I have heard good things about...

I was sure it would need a proportioning valve. On other Mopar disc swaps I've used the early 90s Dodge Dakota rear brake pressure unloader that responds to the change in rear ride height under braking. That was the plan for the 64 also if it needed anything. The disc swap for the 64 uses...

Well said. Thank you!

I learned something today! Same concept applies with using drum brake boosters on disc systems - yeah, it bolts up and works, no problem until you REALLY need ALL your brakes, and the booster's not up to the task... worst possible moment to find out.

I would do a quick Google search for reviews on that clown before I wasted any time or money there. I've seen his performances at Carlisle. Complete Gongshow. Kevin

EDIT - somehow I missed Ross's post above, but I'll leave this as it has pics in it... NO! Drumbrake boosters will seem to work OK, but don't provide enough boost for heavy stops. When you need your brakes most, they may not provide their max potential. 1970 would use a dual-diaphragm booster...

Hey guys, I have a question. While driving my 1967 Dodge Polara the brake pedal suddenly went rock hard and could barely stop the car. I am assuming this is the power brake booster failing. If this is correct can anyone tell me what year, make, model, boosters would be compatible with my car? I...

...these cars better than he does.....................909 985-0800. Also, I recall the 1955 New Yorkers had some pretty special power brake boosters but the 1956 New Yorkers might not be so specialized but he is also one of the very few guys in the country that can rebuild those power brake...

It would be easier to have Booster Dewey rebuild it. www.boosterdeweyexchange.com. Nobody stocks these boosters anymore. Dave

I have question about the master cyl for these boosters. Are they any different than the non disc brake master cyl?

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...

...a '67 Monaco with 383 vs '67 Polara with 318, they point to different master cylinder part numbers. Does that mean they had different brake boosters? My current (not sure if it's original) master cylinder is leaking, the rear reserviour was dry (for the front wheels). I filled it and...

Restorations seemed the best place to post this since there’s no “History” forum. This might be of interest or use to someone on here, the general topic is California Highway Patrol Police Pursuit vehicles, specifically from 1976. I know, in 1976 CHP purchased Dodge Coronets, which are B Body...

Yes indeed. Very. Interesting info here: https://therammaninc.com/files/categories/Floating_Caliper_Disc_Brakes.pdf

Wow! You should buy a lottery ticket with your luck. With all of the problems people have had mis-matching brake parts, you are one in a million. Seems like everyone else that tries to combine front discs with drum rears and no proportioning valve, have all kinds of issues. I have done some...

Many videos on this 10,000 plus MOPAR boosters rebuilt since 71 Almost never the diaphragm……talk to any legit builder Not me. 90% of all booster failures control valve in rear hub…. Rebuilder lingo….poppit valve Dozens of videos on this. Still needs a send off…does not change

Yep. That is the "good one." Send it to Booster Dewey / Booster Steve for a rebuild. There is no better disc brake booster out there.

No History. $75.00 each plus shipping.

All are correct…..field install bendix 1 c boys left factory with midland……..on drum cars…they won contract buy low bidding bendix 2. Midland Ross opened and only got their booster patent in 1962……. Bendix since like 1919 3. Especially on big cars … some purchasers demanded power brakesMOPAR...

...space for cars right now. Brand new tires. I just had them installed 150 miles ago Car runs great. Has the 400BB 2 bbl 727. Needs a brake boosters but brakes works great. Interior is pretty decent driver side if the front seat is torn but nothing too bad. This is the 9 passenger with the fold...
