Talking 65 Starfire brake booster interchangeable 88/98 ?

Hi guys: New owner of a 65 Starfire that sadly needs a power booster. I have been doing some searching through local suppliers, and Cardone has listing for the 88/98 but not for Starfire. Now I was thinking that these three have so much in common brake wise, that I could likely use the 88/98 one. Has anyone tried this or found a better solution? I appreciate any help you guys can advise.
Cheers!!

Just be careful about the pushrod length where it presses on the master cylinder piston. The single master cylinders (66 and older) use a longer pushrod than the dual master cylinders (67 and later). The two are not interchangeable.

Thank you for letting us know the results.

I hate it when I see all this advice given, and we never hear back from the advisee. It is nice to know what worked and what didn't.
