620 Brake Booster Question

[frank88]

Hi Guys. I want to know if this is a stock booster or if for some reason it has been moved forward of the firewall? The piece behind the servo doesn't look oem to me. Car is a 76 620, L20B.

 

 

 

Thanks

You mean that adaptor/ spacer....

Its factory....

Thanks for the speedy reply.

 

Shame its oem, It's pretty much the biggest master setup I've ever seen!

I've always wondered about this spacer. What's its purpose?  Anyone remove it or make a shorter spacer and use a shorter rod? Yes, I know some people remove the booster entirely when doing engine swaps, but I want to keep mine--I just want more clearance.

You could try the 1973/74 booster, it is smaller round, but you would need the proper spacer for between the booster than master brake cylinder and that spacer doesn't come with rebuilt boosters.

I think the spacer moves the booster out to give more room for the clutch master. It might also provide more clearance for the steering column just below it.

That is called a pedestal Mike, the spacer is between the booster and the brake master.
