I am a little embarrassed to ask this but....what would be the correct power brake booster for a 1969 GTS Dart with power drum brakes?

7-1/2 inch rebuildable unit. Shown here with a disc brake master cylinder, but the booster is the same.
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Dimensions on the back of the booster. Did you mean this pushrod from brake pedal to linkage on the back of the booster???

The early one is actually 7". I had one on my 67 383 Barracuda, also seen them on 67 Darts. I don't when they switched over, but the 7" is not rebuildable without major work to take the case apart.

I stand corrected. Got out my big calipers and my original '69 measures 6-1/2" across the case and 7" on the outside of the band. I think this is known as the "Second Generation" booster. The later one measures 7" across the case and 7-1/2" across the outside of the band. This is the "Third generation" booster. Chrysler had a dealer install booster kit p/n 3420972 for '67-'70 Dart and Valiant and '67-'69 Barracuda. It was the larger 3rd generation (7-1/2" ) booster. Jim
