Some good info......I'm doing exactly what Scoti said going from hydro to vacuum. I have a leaking hydro unit getting my engine bay oily. My truck is pretty much for show so any chance i get to replace something with chrome or billet I'm doing it.
The chrome hydro replacement is big $$$.. I can get a chrome booster and m/c for reasonable and it will bling it up a little.
So. I think I'm back to my original thought of pedal only to do the swap?
