Hello
I was wondering if anyone has used Cardone remanufactured brake booster? I am thinking of getting one. How is the quality of the part?
Thanks
Pete

I have had good luck with Cardone over the years. For power brake conversions I like using the Captnfab bracket sold here on the forum and the later model booster and master cylinder setup.

I dont see that booster fitting unless you have one of these on your firewall. Most people go with captainfabs bracket, use the booster.

I have about 6 clusters ready to put together. I have just been concentrating the last couple of years on building a new shop and working on my collection of projects that seem to be growing faster than my time to work on em. I can put you something together if you need a cluster.

I have and it works well. Very few miles over the few years I've had it. I had the factory setup and just swapped the booster.

I'll be trying them out for my 64 GMC here soon so I'll let ya know how it works for me as well.

So does this bolt up to the firewall or do you still need a bracket

That's the stock one yes. "Hope" it works on the booster you purchase.
