1967 GTX brake booster color

[440 4 speed]

As far as I can tell, the Master Cylinders on B body 67 440`s were all black.

Parts book only has 1 listing for b-body disc brake booster, p/n 2881 548 (Bendix dual diaphragm). Indicates its for 8 cyl, but no other distinction. However, the catalog has this graphic for hemi b-body which looks just like the setup on my 383 car.

I did a little more research in the parts book and the offset bracket (5-101-1 in the figure) and the 4 spacers that go on the booster studs (5-101-16) are called out as specific to the hemi b-body, but there is only 1 p/n for a power disc brake booster as mentioned in the previous post which makes me wonder whether all of the disc brake cars got the same setup as the hemi. Also makes me wonder what they used on the hemis with power drums, if there was such a thing, since the pwr drum cars used the Midland-Ross style booster which is a larger diameter.

I am curious whether anyone has an example of a 67 w/factory pwr discs that doesn't use the hemi bracket and Bendix booster or a 67 hemi w/factory pwr drums.

I want to amend my earlier post. Sorry for the earlier comment,,,, I had an old fart moment and should have known better

The midland-ross booster is / was yellow zinc dichromate - which is power drum brake option.
The master cylinder will be natural as cast with a yelow zin plated lid

Manual drum brake master cyls were same as power drums

The Bendix brake booster should be a low gloss black is for power disc brake option, Both booster and master cyl were painted low gloss black as an assy

UNLESS its a hemi car. and then I believe both brake options used the bendix brake booster regardless of drum or disc

PS the hemi only booster looks similar as non hemi.
BUT, the bolt pattern on the back is different between the 2 and on hemi applications the studs are 3/8? , where as non hemi they were only 5/16"

Just went out and measured the bolts on mine. They are 3/8`S. Car was ordered with 440 4 speed and power disc brakes.

Does this look like a correct hemi booster?

Here’s an original 67 R/T, 440. Power drum setup. I EvapoRust’d everything. All had remnants of black paint.
Didn’t appear to ever be off the car. Car was parked in 79 and had 50k miles.

That looks like the correct booster for power discs.

That looks like the booster on my 67 GTX Hemi power disc from the factory. Thanks for the pic.

Looks like the one on my Hemi. It came from the factory with power disc.

Here's the pattern for both hemi and other bendix booster. Not sure about 9" but pattern is right.
