Re: [Chrysler300] '61 300G master cylinder kit

I can vouch that NAPA's listings for our car are not always correct. 
Case in point is the power brake booster for my 62 H. Napa provided a single diaphragm booster. I drove my car with that from 1986 , all the time with crummy brakes until this year when I discovered it is supposed to be a dual diaphragm booster.
 Looking at pictures of engine compartments of 300H's at various web sites, it seems like there are an awful lot of single diaphragm boosters out there. It makes a big bg difference!
