Hi Jesse, Cool I guess I didn't realize that Cardone was a rebuilder or don't remember from when I met you and you got the 79 AMX from me ( I should have kept the sway bar). Yes I know I could have gotten the parts locally too! I also could have bought the booster from an AMC oriented vendor. Unfortunately they all wanted substantially more money for the same part, not to mention more core fees. The on line parts house, (hasn't confirmed my order shipped yet) was cheaper for the part, cheaper core charge, and free shipping. It was so affordable that I won't have to return the core and I'll still be ahead ( that is if the seller is legitimate ). One local parts house said I had to return the exact same booster and master as I bought. That would be a problem because I'm switching to disc brakes up front and my old master is a drum unit. Believe me, I try to spread my purchases around a bit so not one seller gets too much of my business. I buy local, I buy from AMC vendors, and when I find a good deal I buy from on-line. Everyone is looking for the "good" deal, this time it just happened to be an on-line supplier. Have a great weekend too Jesse, next time you're close by to my home town, give me a holler, I wanted to spend more time chatting with you when you picked the AMX, but sadly both of us were just too busy.
