79 SA Brake Booster Replacement
Long story short I need either a new brake booster, a way to refurbish my current leaky one, or a recommendation for a good manual brake conversion. Tbh I just need help I finally got my car running and the only thing I have preventing me from driving it is the brakes now halp plz

I did the return and rebuild service on my 79 this past winter/spring and was very happy with the results. Considering these are NLA, the 100 bucks or so to rebuild mine was worth it. Looks brand new (except for the rust pitting that it has). Check out my build thread for some before and afters if you want to see how well Prior did on mine.

Yup, $100 on Rock Auto. It's a rebuild service, and mine was done by a company named Prior. Best $100 I've spent. Take a look at post #695 on my build thread (follow link in under my name) for some before and after pics. Mine was in very bad shape - rusty and crusty, but it came back looking almost new.

Damn, it did start!
Is there a way to bench test the brake booster?

Damn, it did start!
SA and FB boosters have a different diameter?
