Chevy Dave Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I have used Power Brake Booster Exchange, located in Lynwood, WA. They did good work for me several years ago when they were located in Portland, OR. The original owner retired and it was taken over by a new guy in Washington.

TheBMan Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 @rsorg Is there a benefit to restoring your current booster rather than purchasing a replacement? There are restoration-correct replacements available in the aftermarket. They have the correct gold-colored finish and 'delco moraine' stamping.

Most of the aftermarket boosters are made offshore, even though they have the Delco stamp.. I'll add a link here on how to ID them, but suffice to say, Mike at Brakeboosters.com will not go anywhere near those things. You can either send yours to them, or they'll provide you with a genuine Gm booster. After reading the below info, every time you see a booster at a show, you'll immediately spot a repro booster by the sharp, triangle shaped stamping on the face of the booster. 😁 Scroll about half way down the page: https://www.brakeboosters.com/brake-boosters-history 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 If you are restoring you want as many “ correct parts “ as possible. Most times it’s more expensive but it is correct for the car. Some of the aftermarket parts are not as good as the original ones, so that’s always a thought too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
