Default Brake booster Update

Brake booster is going south on my 87. The Zone wants $112 + core for a rebuild. Taber wants $100 for used. Anybody find any deals on one ?

You can get a metal one at this link click here
The plastic units seem to not like some of the mods like full length headers.
Either way its your choice. Good Luck!

Thanks, I'd seen that before but could not remember the site. I cant complain. The original has 147000 miles on it. TPIS headers for about 60000. I cant blame the headers, good clearance. I have to decide soon, I drive this car every day. Thinking about drag racing it tomorrow night.

Went to the Zone and got the rebuild. $120 total. Last night my gas pedal broke so since I had to take out the seat and go there, may as well do both at once. Assuming Taber has one in the morning. Booster is already done and the pedal out.
