I bought  one of these boosters a few weeks ago, but haven't fitted it yet,
as it is  still 7000 miles away.  I disagree with Tim's comment "Who  needs
'em?"  Every modern car has a booster, so why not a  Corvair?  My 1960 has a
booster fitted and the brakes feel much more  re-assuring than my 65 without
a booster.  While a Corvair's brakes  are by no means bad, a boosted set-up
is just better. Personally, I would  have no hesitation in saying go for it.

I've driven Corvairs since 1964 and have NEVER felt the need for any  power 
boost.
 
You may need the additional help to stop your Corvair but I have never seen  
the need.
 
My 65 Monza stops as well or better than my wife's Toyta Camry (whuch has  
excellent brakes)
 
Just my opinion... But, I could be wrong.
 
Use only as directed, Store in a cool dry place.
