Brake Booster fitment?

Brake Booster fitment?
I've read through a lot of posts but not finding any actual recommendation for a booster. I have a 69 Cutlass w/455 disc/drum set up. The current 11" booster is leaking so I thought I would go with a 9" double diaphragm from Speedway as I couldn't find them at Rock. I currently have about a 1/2" clearance with the valve cover so I could go with any size. This is the one I was considering. https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Tuff-...ch,278180.html. I just wanted to make sure there are no issues with rod length or anything else.
thanks,
Steve

The stock 11" is a single diaphragm and has about 95 square inch of area while a 9" double diaphragm would have about 128 square inch. (thanks to Joe Padavano who schooled me on this). The 9" double will provide you with better power braking assistance.
