RE: IML: Anybody buy a PB booster lately?

["Javier, Bay Adventures" <javier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had mine rebuilt by Booster Dewy. (information on the IML website.)
Pay extra for the "Special" paint or ask them to leave yours as is.
Mine seems to be working fine.  Paid $125 plus shipping.

Good luck.

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,
