    Brake Booster
    « on: January 25, 2005 - 08:15:38 PM »
    What determines if a 1970 had a black or gold cad plated booster?  I know the Hemi e-bodies had the larger black booster.  This is for a 1970 Challenger with disc brakes. Thanks.

    Actually hemi e-bodies had a smaller diameter, thicker booster. I've always seen black boosters on 70-71 cars, the later ones seem to have the cad-plated ones. thats not saying a 70-71 cannnot come with a cad-plated booster, I just don't ever remember seeing one. My hemicuda clone has a aftermarket booster similar to the original in shape and size (for hemicars)...it's for valve cover/spark plug clearance.

    I believe they're all supposed to be black; the Cad ones are mistakenly cad as that's what GM had.

    Out of the 15 Challenger's  I've owned over the years, none had boosters that were not black.
