Brake Booster
So my '89 has the dreaded dead power brake booster, planning on doing it this weekend, and a bit every night during the week, tonight I'm pulling the drivers seat, and lower panel on the dash. I've looked at all of the major auto parts suppliers, and think I'm going to go with Advance Auto Parts as I have an $20 off on purchases over $100. The Booster I dont have a problem with, the issue I have is the vacuum check valve
Are they all this expensive? I know on rock auto it is almost the same price! Is it made of unobtainium? what gives?
Just wondering....

The last booster I bought came with a new check valve.
My recollection is that the first booster I bought several years ago did not come with a check valve. I transferred the old one to the new booster.
