Got my reproduction brake booster ... seems like a nice piece. Replaced the check valve with a NOS Delco piece the proper color. Tested it with a vacuum pump and it works.
GtoHurstJudge .. I kept in mind your tip about the spacing. I noticed the reproduction has a seal in the MC side that differs from the OEM design .. it fits into the cavity on the booster like a rubber washer, the OEM piece is a rubber "cup" with a flange that get's trapped between the rear of the MC and the front of the booster .. this flange is about the thickness of two washers, I assume it compresses some when the MC is tightened to the booster. I'm wondering if this is where the missing length comes from ... I installed the new booster using the OEM piece from my original booster ... won't know if it works untill everything is buttoned up ... but easy enough to change out and add the washers if I need to.
