WHAT exactly are we doing nowadays when we need a brake booster for our 1970 B-Bodies? This is for my convertible, which already has a blingy-modified engine bay, so keeping it "dead original" looking is not going to keep me up at night. I need something that does'nt look TOO goofy...

You need to send yours out to be rebuilt. The above businesses seem to be recommended quite a bit, on the internet. RF-4C Phantom 69-370 Zweibrucken, Germany

You are showing the dual diaphram unit... mine is the single. I checked, and they have that too... Here's the link- http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/B...omString=search $89 plus core charge, Cardone part# 54-73501 If this works, it would certainly get me off the hook for a whole lot less $$$ than I thought I'd have to pay...
