Looking for parts

Need a tachometer and brake booster for 73 convertible with 351.

Dont buy a used brake booster, should be able to get a rebuilt for about $100. Its not the type of job you want to do twice

I would go with a 'new' one from GPS Brakes. http://gpsbrakes.com/ 

I bought a 'replacement' booster from NPD, and it's totally not even close to fitting our cars (wrong bolt pattern, much thicker and smaller in diameter).  The picture on NPD's site is of a stock booster, and what showed up was not even close.

It's not that bad (I wound up doing mine thrice actually, once with the original booster that leaked vacuum like a sieve, the second time just out of curiosity to see if the NPD unit would fit, and again with the GPS).

Hope that helps!

I have all mine rebuilt by Booster Dewey on the west coast.  Last one cost me about $125.

Yep!  Booster Dewey in Portland Oregon.  Mine was rebuilt by him.
