Bought a remanufactured one from Advance AP for about 100 dollars after 40 dollar core charge refunded. Got the old one out and found out the one I picked up from them Sunday had the wrong bolt pattern. They reordered the Bendix and the Cardone brand for Monday. The Bendix fit, so probably someone put the wrong booster in the box when it was rebuilt. I got it put in with no problems. I would suggest that before anyone starts this job, get a very good set of sockets and extensions, as you will need them all. 13mm for the bolts in the firewall and 17mm for the 2 bolts on the master cylinder. It would have been a piece of cake if not for the wrong bolt pattern causing a 1 day delay in getting her back on the road. I did not have to take the front seat out to work on it, but it would have made my job easier, ESPECIALLY on getting to the top, innermost bolt on the firewall. I ended up with about 14 inches of extension on my socket to get that sucker out. Had to have a deep socket one to put the final tight on them all. Thanks to all who helped me.
