Re: IML: Anybody buy a PB booster lately?



Hello John & All; The best source I have found is  Power Brake booster Exchange in Portland Or. Their phone # is (503) 238-8882. They are very knowledgeable & friendly people.

Subject: IML: Anybody buy a PB booster lately?

Say,

My '65 is in the shop for a failed power brake booster. It's one I 
bought in 2000 from Autozone. The rebuilder is Cardone and the part 
number is 503610. The lifetime warranty is good and Autozone ordered me 
a replacement without charge, but when we went to install it it turned 
out to be a different shape. That is, the forward end of the old 
booster is tapered where the new one is straight. It fits, but barely 
clears the valve cover.

I thought it might have been the wrong part in the right box, so I had 
Autozone order another which turned out the same.  Apparently Cardone 
changed the spec on the booster. The part number has not changed.

Has anybody purchased a booster lately that matches the original 
tapered shape? Or had theirs rebuilt? This one will work but it's just 
not quite right.

Best,
