AnswerFor brake booster rebuilds, the two with the best reputation are "Booster Dewey" and "Karps".
Karps is the one I use, because they are local (Riverside CA).
Contact Booster Dewey at Power Brake Booster Exchange, Inc. 4533 SE Division Portland, Oregon 97215 503 238-8882.
Contact Karps at KARP'S Power Brakes

If you are looking for a source of rebuilding kits, I'm not going to be able to help you, as I've not run into a source for them. If you are a member of a club, post your question on their web site, someone will have an answer for you. WPC is the main Chrysler club, as you probalby know, but I'm sure there is a 300 club also.
Some vendors advertise new heater cores on eBay all the time, so I'd look there first. I tried that on my 67 Imperial, and they couldn't help me. But I've found that a good radiator shop can rebuild and even recore any heater core I've every had to repair.
I have gotten rebuilt power brake boosters for 64 Chryslers from AutoZone and from NAPA in the past - they are another source at around $100 exchange.
