Another Brake Booster Question

Featured Replies

After getting my car running again, I have come across a problem, my brake booster when out.... I have searched around and done some research about where to get one, but not much luck. I've heard Advanced Auto Parts has them, but theres not a location around here. All the other chain part stores didn't have it either. My local foreign part store was no use as well. Does anyone have any suggestions?

If you need to drive the car, you'll have to bite the bullet and pay for overnight shipping. Expect to pay core charges, too.

By the way, edit your profile and put the year of your car in it. That can help you get better answers to your questions.

Thanks for the input, the car is a 72 model sorry for the lack of info on that, my profile was giving me problems with that saying it was built in 69 instead. I'm not in a hurry to drive it since it isnt a daily driver yet.

I'm sorry. I meant to say that you should edit your signature and put the year of your car in it. That way it shows up in every post you make.

No problem, I have been trying to figure out how to do that, I'll edit that in.

I have a parts car that I was going to be scrapping out, and it has a good booster and master cylinder on it. It is a '73, but the booster looks the same as my '72. If you're interested in it, send me a pm and make me an offer.

I know this is probably another dumb question, but since my car is a 72 and Black Dragon sells the boosters for 70-71 cars and 73-78 cars where would my car fit in?

LOL Weird but a great question! I looked around and found confusion on this page but I saved you another $50 :)

My guess is that any of them should work. Just do some web research on where the vac line attaches and the spacing of the 4 mounting studs and the push rod length.

Thanks Blue I think Ill go with your suggestion and get one from them. Have you bought anything from them before? I'm just a little hesitant to buy things on the internet sometimes!
