If anyone has any info on how these old boosters work or info on rebuild kits for them it would be greatly appreciated! thanx!

They cost about $250 with core. There is a brake rebuilder in St Louis (I think) that rebuilds them...can't remember their name. I've never found a source for the internal parts.
