I didn't have an original set up to go by.  Does anyone know what style of gasket was used originally between the m/c and booster?  The DMT kit included both types (foam and paper)

Thanks!

I don't know what was original but I use the foam gasket. It's just keeping the dirt out.

As I replied in your Moparts post, I think master cylinder flange gaskets, which are foam, were only used in manual brake installations, not when installed on boosters.

This one is foam

However I believe that is the gasket between the booster and the firewall, not the booster and master cylinder, which is what the OP is asking about.

Thanks - I can't find any drawings or anything in the parts books that calls for anything. I am a little surprised. You'd think at a minimum they'd want to keep dirt out. Looks like I'll go without.
