The drum booster is definitely NOT the same as the disc booster. Please do NOT use a drum booster on a discs system, whatever you may hear. Even though it will bolt up and work fine for most brake applications of your drum system, it does not provide as much boost as a disc system needs, and...

There's a few of you out there in this car ocean that have already given me some good information, advice, and people to contact over on my Introductory Thread, but for further ideas and advice, I am making a proper thread for it. (I will be contacting Craig a.s.a.p.). This is dangerous, but...

Just as a suspicion, probably C-body from 1965-1968? As they all used the same power brake boosters in those model years of C-body cars. 1969 and newer would be different as would 1964 and prior, as they were different body series/generations. Just some suspicions, CBODY67

The Leeds system MIGHT work well for some other brands of cars, but the track record for C-body Chrysler vehicles is poor at best. As documented in many threads in here over the past years. ONE thing to consider is that if a big box national hot rod parts place sells it, does NOT mean its a...

This man knows his stuff……the single bendix or midland drum booster have only 60% power of a tandem bendix 1. Dozens of videos on this last 12 years. 2. Some client have not been able to afford disc brake kit and new correct power unit( 2nd gen)c body and imperial 3. We have them bolt on the...

There is nobody with more info and videos of MOPAR brakes on the web, that is fact(621) All the knowledge is free and correct. He also provides more MOPAR (factory)brake components than anyone else. He has done more hemi ( million dollar cars) brake systems, booster,master,than anyone on planet...

From what I've seen of the Ram Man, he's pretty knowledgeable, but kind of a flake. I've never done business with him... But seeing a few of his videos where he bitches about customers and it's pretty clear to me that he's not very professional and I think has a couple loose screws... I did...

You need to find out the exact application of the booster AND the master cylinder separately. What car, weight, and type of brake system. If the master cylinder is a power assisted drum brake master cylinder, typically they require less boost than similar disc brake master cylinders, and hence...

Boosters are OK for those who lack the muscle to stomp their brake pedal hard when needed, but those of us blessed with the strength to do so get better braking with our native strength in part because we can feel how hard we're pressing the brakes and how they're responding! The booster gets...

I would try to find a factory disc system off of a donor car in the years listed above. The after market systems have a ChiCom booster if one is supplied. These boosters have proven reliability issues. The other advantage of using a donor car is that you can usually scavenge the related...

66-68 factory disc boosters are dual diaphragm. At some point in 1969+ they switched to a large diameter single diaphragm. The 1969+ boosters are not quite a drop-in replacement for 1965-68 C-bodies when doing a disc upgrade because the brake pedal pushrod is 1/2" longer. The large single is...

Was 300$ for the rebuild and replacing the collar on the backside and shipping back... There is pricing listed on the webpage.. Power Brake Booster Exchange - Parts for Classic Cars Turn around time was rather long.. BUT..... Considering Mark just took this operation over and everything had to...

Thank you, the matter of what the original MC for power drum brake cars looks like has been bugging me for a while and indeed I started a thread, that got a number of contributions, here...

I don't have the reproduction world of power brake boosters, at all --- so, no, I'm out --- Such that, if you guys want to get together, go for it... I have spoken to Isaiah before --- Good person, and Craig / MetalManiacAZ --- Great person, whom I have had repeated dealings with.... You guys...

Hey Josh / Cuda Hunter, As much as I do brakes --- and I know everything in the === NEW === Brake Parts world, Power Brake Boosters are in the Rebuilt & Used worlds, and I have no catalogs at all in their regard.... I have two (2) Power Brake Boosters at my rebuilding right now, as...

There are many threads here regarding this conversion. @Ross Wooldridge is a pro on this subject and has taught me a thing or two about this setup! The main issue with aftermarket kits is that they were not designed specifically for our powerful 4,500+ lb C-Bodies effectively. They’re a combo...

...no charge in the battery. Point being is you have to decide what you need. It may be best to have your existing part rebuilt. Power brake boosters come to mind as a good example. Try to buy a new one and the best you can buy is an offshore built piece that fits a bunch of cars rather than...

Thank you very much, I greatly appreciate your help. Have a nice evening!

This is one of the poorest boosters of all time….introduced about 12 years ago…the co that use to provide these had over 50% failure rate. 1. When a co does not even want booster back….u know it’s poor. Only facts and no opinion 2.7 different rods for factory tandem bendix…1962 to 1970…all...

There’s a lot of misinformation out there regarding interchangeability between B, E, & C body disc brake boosters from 60’s-early 70’s. Just removed an original booster from a 1970 B for a detailing so I thought I’d compare it directly with the original from my 1967 Fury which I’m sending out...
