I know a little late, but just wondering, if the s-10 is better as I am doing my 2wd Blazer after the 67 is gone.
Well, thinking back, maybe I should have gotten a booster out of a 71-72... lol

The reason (so I was told) to go with an S-10 booster is that they require very little vacuum to operate correctly. That and it was given to me... free is always a good reason to use a part.

All in all, it wasn't that bad of an install, but a direct bolt up would have been sweet as well.
