Re: 1966 American P/B booster unit

[JOE FULTON <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The 1966 parts book shows a power brake booster for
the 01 (American) with LHD.  The booster is a
convetional "standoff" type unit mounted on a bracet
extending from the firewall.   The booster assembly
carries part no. 3205898.  I suggest calling the AMC
vendors and seeing if they have a parts car with this
configuration.  Why cobble something together if you
can find the original parts?  If you do find one, and
it needs to be rebuilt, there are several companies
which can do that.
