Is this a Hemi Booster??

I just won this on Ebay and was wondering if anyone could tell from these pics if it is a hemi booster or a regular Power disc booster?  I know the hemis took larger mounting bolts and also the angled input lever to the booster I just cant tell from the pics. Can anyone tell for sure by the pics :shruggy: I remember once being told the 67 B bodies could also have the extra brackets to raise the booster but I've not seen it.
Thanks in advance for the wisdom.

The brake lines coming off to the engine side make me think non hemi. At least for the master.

I believe 2 discerning factors are 3/8" mounting studs and they are offset as well

It was advertised as removed from a 67 hemi coronet. I guess when it arrives I'll know for sure.  The input rod lengths are different.
I believe Dewey Booster can swap out the rods during rebuilt if its not a B body rod.

200.00 So would that be a big block  A body or did all power disc brake A bodies get the elevated booster?   You would hink  on an A body it would put it too close to the hood.
I know 200.00 is agood price for a B body booster but did I pay too much for an  A body :shruggy:  The only difference is the inputrod right?

That does look like a Hemi bracket set up IMHO.  A-Bodies never had the dual diaphragm Bendix booster.

Looks like Dr. Diff sells new Hemi brackets for use on orig Hemi boosters as well as the standard ones...

Has not arrived yet.  That will be the definite factor when it arrives.  I was just curious  if anyone could tell by whats pictured. Did any other Bendix set ups use the offset bracket?

3/8" studs on the back of it will be Hemi only, I think

Other wise it's 1967 B-body

When looking at the booster, I noticed there are no spacers between the booster and the bracket. Does each side of the bracket have to small holes. I have an original hemi booster and offset bracket, if you snap some more pics, I could tell you for sure.  John
