Brake Booster Replacement
Re: Brake Booster Replacement
so, if i still have the old booster from my recent swap... is there anything worth keeping? and if so, is it worth the hassle to pull the dang thing apart for?

Re: Brake Booster Replacement
The mounting plate and pushrod are the only parts required to convert to manual. I took the booster apart to get the rod out, (since I didn't really know how it was built or came apart), but the end of the rod had another piece on the end that had to be removed. I think maybe if you could pry it out the rod would pop out without dissasembly.

Re: Brake Booster Replacement
Can't wait to do this mod on my car; got a salvage booster mounting plate; it's 16 ga, BTW. Fortunately, I've got some lying around. Trey, any help you can provide with dimensions of the holes and bracket would be appreciated.mdrburchette wrote:I don't know what that thing is on the early cars. It's not showing up on the wiring diagram either, but my 71 and 72 have it.
I thought the Mystery Switch was a test device for Tony to engage the fast idle circuit on the carb.
