I can't believe the short sightedness of the Chevy engineers, that merely 50 years ago they could not foresee that we would some day be bolting up electronic components to these rigs, was all that pretend metric compliance for nothing? needless to say I must drill four new holes, oh the calamity

Fun Fact: Trusting that your 70s vehicle was built with the highest of precision fitment standards in mind and perfect symmetry is a sure way to make you drill and weld up your new holes two or three times to fianlly meet their polywhompuses
this is how off the factory brackets come off the firewall towards the new booster, they are NOT even (like I originally assumed) |

Great work so far, but question!? That master looks awfully small, does is have enough bore and stroke to to move fluid correctly to actuate large front disc's and the rear drum set up on these trucks?

at first this level of inaccuracy made my heart skip a beat...
but then later I realized the whole front end is up in the air a bit more than the rear and not on the level so Top Tip, when twerking on old cars or trucks, measure and go off of their parts and not off of the circumference of the earth and shiet, (I once built a perfectly symmetrical split bumper for my '54 ... spent hours and hours on getting both sides identical, and then I mounted them and they looked jacked, I could not figure out what was wrong, so I cut the uneven side all up and welded it up so it looked like HELL on the garage floor, then I mounted it up, and my wife goes HMMM THAT LOOKS PERECT !!! |
