    Old style vs new style brake boosters

    Yes, that is the setup I'm planning to use. What's interesting is that except for a small difference in the metal insert on the end of the pushrod, I didn't see any real difference. I should've grabbed a picture.

    Old style vs new style brake boosters

    So I wanted to add some final notes to this thread. I finally got back to this and the new 02 Monte Carlo Brake Booster is installed. One other issue I ran into was when I went to put the master cylinder in place. The 90 GP master cylinder is recessed into the brake booster farther than the 2nd gen master cylinder is. This is the part I'm talking about. The length it goes into the brake booster is longer. So what was happening was that when I tightened the bolts holding the master cylinder to the booster, the push rod was making contact with the cylinder and engaging the brakes. When I took the master cylinder back off, it was pretty obvious what the problem was and at first I was unsure how to fix it. I pulled the pushrod out and compared them. Then I noticed a flat plastic washer/spacer on the end of the pushrod. I removed that and reinserted the rest of the pushrod, but still had a little bit of engagement. I ended up putting two very small washers on the bolts between the master cylinder and booster and that solved my problem. Now it's worth noting that this probably would not be an issue with a 2nd gen Master cylinder, but it was with mine. I haven't driven it yet and won't be able to for a while, but hopefully it ends up being worth it.
