Aftermarket Brake Booster

[Rick Yasenchack]

Good day to all, been a long time, missed the website and many posts I'm sure.  Nearing the end of renovations gone wild.  Thanks to Russ and all who keep this site going, I much appreciate it and will come to more I'm sure.

A while back I posted about compression issues with brake booster, which was affecting the engine and carb adjustments,  

We have isolated what we believe to be a leak in the booster.  Also my mechanic friends seems to think the booster is small for this size car.  He does not have a fitting to test compression on the booster.  Having not driven my baby for 2 years, its getting frustrating.  Worse is my mechanic abilities.

What is a good aftermarket brake booster and how do I know I'm getting the right one, does anyone have a part number for given brand?

I will look now.  So far new set with master cylinder is all I find from Summit.

Someone suggested the existing 8" is too small for this size vehicle, suggested dual diaphragm 9".  Also mentioned the master cylinder is sized to the booster, so get both to be safe.

Thank yoo
