vintage brake booster question
I pulled this off the shelf today....for an exploratory...
I'm guessing 59-61 GM..... The master was still attached......and it took some serious work with a big hammer and chisel to remove it.....(even after I took the bolts off...) The inside was just loaded with that white powder..... Was this somebody's cocaine stash...or just decomposed diaphragm.etc.? |

Was the master cylinder aluminum? Looks like corroded aluminum. Would also explain why master was so hard to get off. Corrosion between 2 dissimilar metals.

That is a 1959-1961 Bendix booster, You need a Bendix master to go with it.

Contact the Power Brake Exchange and see if they can shed some light on it.
