I have been told that if they don’t leak from the get go, they don’t last long before they are shot. I would always rebuild a GM original over one of these China made boosters

I bought two of those pretty cad plates ones on eBay.

Neither one worked for long.

I went back to my old booster from my 78 and it’s still working fine.

I was glad I used regular nuts and lock washers because I was able to swap them in under an hour. :D
(With the car fully assembled.)

Thanks. With yours twisted metals input, I have cancelled the order for the new booster. The old one works, it just has a chipped off part on the plastic collar where it meets the firewall, which doesn’t really hurt anything. I think I’ll paint it black and reinstall it. My initial plan was just to remove it and paint it while the engine is out.

Scope creep interrupted!

That’s great info. I appreciate it. I have cancelled the order for the booster. Will use “regular” nuts this time!

(Boy those new ones sure are pretty though lol)
