What did you get that unit from? I have found several options for donors. I found a very clean(not abused) unit on a Chevy Astro van - about a 90 model. Another I found was a 83-87 Chev 1 ton. The 1ton looked beefier (maybe just the angle or the dirt). The 1 ton did not have a remote reservoir that I recall. The pump looked just like a small block pump with built in reservoir. The Astro van uses a remote reservoir with 2 connections - the hoses were missing so I don't know the routing.

There has been some discussion about a simple T fitting for the low pressure side rather than a Y. I think the T is just more readily available.

I am not sure on the rod. Are you going from manual brakes or power brakes? There has been some discussion about lining up the rod after eliminating the power brake linkage. Did you get a rod when you got the unit?

How did you adapt the unit to the firewall?

I have probably asked more questions than you did originally but I just want to learn what works.

Thanks - Bob
