Well, I'm messing with the GTX and trying to ID this booster and master cylinder. The one in my Satellite is different (mounted flush to the booster plate/firewall) but the Satellite has all drum brakes. Can anyone tell me if this is a disc brake booster and master by the picture? If not, where could i look to identify this thing?

Thanks in advance guys

It looks like a Bendix Tandem Diaphragm Booster and the master cylinder should be Bendix with a casting #2226821.
I included a pic of mine 1970 GTX disk brake car and that's exactly what I have.
Bendix boosters have the front and back crimped together, and single diaphragm (short front) for drum / tandem or dual diaphragm (long front) for disk.
Hope that helps

That's a pretty rare booster most people call a Hemi booster. It is slightly different than the one 440+6 has shown. The main difference is the push rod going into the back side of the booster is offset lower to accomodate the Hemi , that is of course in addition to the offset bracket. The one in 440+6's picture has the push rod centered into the booster. The other difference is you'll notice the check valve/vacuum port is perpendicular versus the newer one. That check is very hard to find. That booster came on any 66-67 B-body with disc and big block. Of course Hemi included. The master is somewhat common and more readily available. It is a big block master versus the Hemi which has the brake line ports on the fenderwell side away from the engine. What ever you do, don't turn it in for a core to rebuild, you won't get the same back. Send it off to booster Dewey for a rebuild. Neat find.
 
Yep, that is a Bendix booster. As far as I know the booster is the same for hemi and non hemi, and some are even found on C bodies. It's the bracket and linkage that is specific for the hemi application.
