Is this the right power brake booster?
« on: April 14, 2015 - 09:54:33 AM »
Hey gang,

First, I want to say thanks for all of the great advice on this site, its certainly helped with a lot of decisions and repairs.

So, I’m adding power brakes to my Challenger, and I came across this booster that I must have purchased somewhere along the line. I’ll be sandblasting and painting it this weekend. But before I try to install it…does this look like the right power brake booster for the car? My master cylinder is a 4 bolt set up, so that looks like it will align...

You want to confirm that the four studs on the back line up with the holes in the firewall. That is a newer unit, maybe mid-70's so it could be from an F Body which I believe are different hole spacing. :2cents:

You could get an adapter, but its probably just easier to find the right booster in the first place.

It looks correct to me. :dunno: You're missing the reinforcement plate for it though.
