1960 Catalina brake booster upgrade?
It seems like the brake booster in my 1960 Catalina is toast. Has anyone upgraded to a different, more readily available booster? I'd like to convert the car to 4-wheel discs at some point so upgrading the booster and master cylinder now wouldn't be a terrible idea.

Try Master Power Brakes. They have all kinds of stuff. I used their booster and master to convert my 1964 to front PDB. It also works for their rear disc brakes.

Examine the booster and compare it to the 1985-87 S10 BK booster, it is a dual nine inch booster that work far better than the dinky unit some vendors supply.

Well, I decided to take the car around the block and the booster seemed to free up a bit. Not sure if it was drum related or the booster was sticky or what, but the brakes work ok now.
