Not sure if this is better in Tech -- I have a 99 booster and an 88 booster. What types of places can swap the push rod for me between the two?
Thanks.

You can do it! After the master cylinder is out of the way, it's as easy as changing a light bulb!
Remove master cylinder
Have somebody hold the brake pedal in
Unscrew old pushrod
Screw in new pushrod
Reinstall master cylinder
???

Wait.
I mean the pushrod that goes from the brake pedal to the booster.

I believe that is what he is talking about. I have done this on a master for the clutch when I went from an 84 to 94. It was not screw in though it was held in place with a retaining clip. Moving to tech.

Hmmm, assuming that I am unable to do the swap at home, what types of places rebuild brake boosters?

No because I put the 99 in my 88 and with the 99 pushrod in place, the brake pedal is scratching my nuts.
I need to get the 88 pushrod put in the 99 booster. Or get the brake pedal much, much lower.

Rather than put a different push rod on you can put a spacer between the firewall and the booster. I thought 95+ had these anyway. It could be just 95-97 IIRC but I am not positive. So you can either grab one of those in a junk yard or make a spacer or use washers.

Yeah, there's already a stock spacer in there from the 99. It's like 1/2".
Any thicker, though, and I think you run the risk of having the bolts that hold the booster on not thread enough to hold it securely in the long run.
