Default Brake booster

Just bought a brake booster/ master cylinder from Orielly auto parts. Had it delivered- what a mistake! it was all banged up o when I opened it. Sent it back. they did a terrible job of packing it. thinking of just going to NAPA. Anyone have a recommendation?? ps master cylinder has a vacuum leak so its time for a new one and master cylinder leaks

I used these guys myself on another restoration project. Dewy did a great job of rebuilding the booster I sent him.

Did you pick your booster up at O'Reillys? (lifetime warranty)or had it direct shipped in. We got ours from there and picked it up at there store with no problems after a little clean-up and paint can't tell any difference just changing it out under the dash is a REAL PIA. Had to have my youngest son do it with these damn verilux can't get close enough or far enough to see to do it and he wasn't a happy camper either.

Good luck wro87
