Correct- GM uses a symmetrical 4-stud pattern while DeTomaso uses a 
triangular stud pattern, in which none of the studs match up to the GM. Precision 
Pro-formance cuts the studs off a new booster, strips the assembly, welds new 
studs on and reassembles the unit, then gold-alodines the result. Needless 
to say, the welding must be done properly. Depending on your needs you may 
also want to remove the stock GM keep-alive pressure valve (in the front 
circuit only) since its non-adjustable, and use aftermarket ones. I don['t run 
any such valves but thats a personal preference. Good luck- J Deryke
