They look quite differemt, the boosters that is. There are 3 major types: straight, down-leg, and annular (and truck boosters, not popular). I like the downleg boosters most of the time. The straight and the downleg boosters are small in diameter, about 1/2". The annular boosters are much larger, closer to 1" in diameter. The only difference between the straight and the downlegs is how deep they sit into the carb. Look at some pictures in a catalog, you will notice the three different types.
