Nope, it would be listed.

As for the short rod, when the P.O. installed the booster, he didn't bother to adjust the push rid. Remove the master cylinder and pull the push rod out. You'll see one end screws in and out. Make small increases in size. You'll want to leave a little but of free play. test drive it on the freeway after adjusting....or a long 2 lane black top...what ever. Hold it at 60 for a few miles, and then pull over and check for excesive hear on the wheels...esp the rear. If they ar etoo hot, shorten the rod just a touch.
