popped the diaphragm in oe 64power booster

[blackmopar]

shes whistlin like a devil when i lay on the brakes - ive got the wedge style bracket set up - what booster do I need - any ol one mount up or.....? thanks! dont feel like pulling it to take it to kragen to find out i gotta special order from a catalog if i can avoid

[Captainfab]

I was thinking O'Reilly's had them listed on their website, the booster and master together, or just the booster. I don't know if it is actually the correct one though.

I would say this is the one you need. There is another one, but it says it is for a verticle mounting bracket.

my man~ i coulda shoulda done that i suppose first. ill at least post the confirmation once i nab it - thanks again capn!

if you have another booster the same diameter laying around just pop it apart and replace the diaphragm, i have done many and its really simple, no special tools needed, and dont worry about the spring inside it only has minimal pressure to return the pedal

This is the one I used on my 64 K20. Worked fine.

hmmm, do they HAVE to be the same diameter to do this? I have an 85 booster that i nabbed with the dual cyilinder and stuff for front end conversion, but no where near ready for that - this sounds like my price range if doable!

If not Ill head Jims direction - the loaded booster (with cyimder) is cheaper than the one without?!?!?

thanks guys for input!

eh opened up the 10" FROM THE 85 to see that wont work - gonna look to see if theres maybe a rebuild kit FOR THE 8 inch- yeap im a cheap bastard!!!!

Let me know if you find a rebuild kit. I'm your cheap arse brother. I searched for one before I bought the reman Cardone. I couldn't find one.

I don't mean to hi jack anyones threat. But since ya are on the same subject. I have 62 with power drum brakes it the booster just stop working. I cant find one any auto parts store for my year. Does anyone know what I can replace it with?

[blackmopar]

just thought id update - wasnt able to locate a rebuild kit anywhere as JimQ indicated - so I just grabbed the unloaded cardone version form oreilleys and will drink cheap beer for a week or so to offset the 100 bucks gone

it bolted right up no problem on firewall and m/c side

thanks as always guys!

i used to get them from a local re-builder but he has since retired and closed his shop after 40+ years,he still lives on the property so let me see if i can drop in on him and get some info on where to get these parts
