http://www.hydratechbraking.com/brakeunits.html Unfortunately finding rebuilt units at parts stores has become problamatic. I have 2 units, one of theirs (expensive) and an old parts store booster.

There's a heater control valve even on non AC cars. It just opens and closes the heater hose valve.

What's having AC have to do with the heater control valve?

I could move mine one spline in either direction.

I'd get the wheels straight (steering wheel at the 2:00 position) disconnect the steering shaft from the box, turn it until the wheel is straight and reconnect the steering shaft.

The only way I could get rid of the whine after I installed my Hydroboost over 20 years ago was to go with a larger resevoir designed for hydroboost. 8.25

That's where I got mine. They work well.

Depending on which hydroboost unit you have the seal around the piston that goes to the pedal push rod may not be replaceable at least that's what all the instructions say. Here's a link that shows the non rebuildable ones can be...
