Tony,
Napaonline shows a new booster with master cylinder for $214,or one without
M/C for $144,since the M/C has to be removed to replace the booster,I'd buy
the one for $214,and be done with it, I'd suggest ordering the booster and
cyl from your local NAPA store,take it along with you,since it's almost a
sure thing they'll have to order it...You'll be very pleased with your '73
there's nothing quite like a "fuselage" Imperial...
Chris...
