Re: 1958 Apache 3800 Hydrovac

there are a few alternate setups like that here. some use the hydraulic style hydroboost but they require a power steering pump for hydraulic power. if you run a vac booster like the pic from greybeard, you may wanna instalk a check valve and vac reservoir inline with the vac hose to the engine. a steel line may also help as it has no flex, doesn't break down with time like rubber does and takes less space. just a thought, someone here used an old master cylinder, bored right through as a forward mount for the booster, the pushrod went right through the master cylinder in it's stock location and followed along a space to where the booster was located further back.;
