I go to order a brake booster at my local parts store for my 75 Fury (318) and they asked me if I needed a double diagragm booster or a single. the pictures of the single booster looked more like what's on the car so I selected that...now I'm not sure sure. Anyone know for certain?
 
The single was on the small.block and the double which is smaller diameter for the big block cars... most of the time but not always
 
1970 and back disc brakes used a dual diaphragm booster and drums used a single diaphragm booster. Not sure about 71 and later. I would check rockauto and compare the different boosters.
 
If you have drum brakes all around, use the single booster, but if you plan to install disc's, buy the double.
 
My wife had a single diaphragm and out came our 3rd child. Go with the double.
 
Ok this is frustrating. I did not think they were interchangeable. Rock auto and other parts providers dont specify one or the other. I chose single because the picture looked like the correct one. The double looked much fatter than what was on it.
