Master Power Brakes sells power boosters for Buick, Chevrolet, Edsel, Ford, Mercury, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Street Rod applications. Power boosters use vacuum produced by your engine to assist in the application of force to the master cylinder. When you step on the pedal, a valve on the firewall side of the booster opens, allowing atmospheric pressure in. A hub assembly in the booster transfers this force to the master cylinder.

Customers generally ask:
1. What size power booster will I need?
2. What is a dual diaphragm power booster?
3. Will I need a special booster for four wheel disc brakes?
4. What makes and models do you have power boosters for?
1. What size power booster will I need?
Since the size of the power booster will determine the amount of assist, the weight of your vehicle and the type of brakes you have will factor into this equation. A heavy vehicle needs a larger booster than a lighter one and disc brakes require more pressure than drum.
2. What is a dual diaphragm power booster?
A dual diaphragm power booster allows you to decrease the size of the booster and still have adequate assist. The amount of power assist that a booster produces is proportional to the diameter of the booster. The larger the booster can, the more assist it will produce. To reduce the size of the booster can, engineers came up with a dual diaphragm design. The use of two diaphragms produces significantly more assist than a single, thus allowing a smaller design.
3. Will I need a special booster for four wheel disc brakes?
A four wheel disc brake system will require more pressure than a disc/drum system. Generally speaking, a dual diaphgram booster will be needed for four wheel disc brakes.
