more brake booster

[Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

Erm, it seems I have a drum brake booster behind my disk brake master  
cylinder. The Rock Auto site has links to Cardone pages, which has  
excellent photos by the way (I assume they are correct :-)

I got the booster with the car, as parts-in-the-trunk, but I am  
fairly sure it came off the car, which did have drums up front. It's  
also a bellcrank linkage model (booster lives on an adapter that  
accomodates the bellcrank and pushes it away from the firewall).

I know the drum booster is single-diaphragm and the disk is double.  
This is just fine by me, I dislike feather-touch brakes.

A major feature is that the drum booster is inches shallower,  
something to keep in mind for oddball installs.

The booster is just a simple servo, right? There's no weirdness ie.  
drum vs. disk is there? Just fit and amount of boost?

(Since I'm plumbed for the disk brake master cyl on the end of the  
drum brake booster I'd rather keep it this way, the lessened boost is  
only a plus. It's luxurious compared to the Rambler, '79 disk setup  
with no boost at all).
