brake booster question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jacklegjim · 08-03-2013, 12:04 AM

I am converting my 72 chevy to power brakes. I already have the bracket painted and mounted to my firewall. My question is I am not sure if should get the Bendix or Delco. Does anyone know which one I need by the bolt pattern? It measures 3 3/4 across and 3 1/2 top to bottom.
Thanks Jim

I believe either one, they both have the same bolt pattern. I cant recall the difference but im sure someone will chime in.

Original Delco Moraine Boosters Are Usually Gold-Anodized the Bendix are usualy painted black. my research is telling me that they should be interchangable.

Honestly I just bought a remain master and booster an it works great. They are interchangeable as long as their year correct and make sure you get a booster that matches your mc.
