Brake Booster Questions

[ascari]

This is the brake booster on my latest "barn-find" , a -66 New Yorker. It's a bit wheezy. I understand several different types of booster were installed at factory and dealerships, and I'm totally confused.

What type of booster is that? Are replacements available? Rebuilder recommendations? Any help is appreciated!

Hard to find any reman on the shelf anymore. Do not discard your old one. Better to have it rebuilt. This outfit is highly recommended.

That's a 67 or later master, 66 still had the single pot. The booster may not be the original, not sure.

Thank you so much for your responses! I guess I will check out having it rebuilt by "Booster Dewey". The prices on the web site seem reasonable.

Somebody told me it looks like a dealership field-installed Kelsey Hayes booster. Anybody knows anything about those?

I used Steve's service with no issues. He was very helpful with my 4-disc conversion!

Can't go wrong with Booster Steve. They did two Bendix units for me in the past year. Great quality and turn around time!

I’ve got them doing 2 for me as we speak!
