Re: 85 C30 hydroboost replacement?

They changed them later to a remote hydrovac that mounts under the cab.
It's a direct bolt-in swap going from Hydraboost to vacuum brakes on 73-87's. The pedals have different pivot points for the rods so different ratios.

You either have to relocate the pivot bushing on the existing pedal to the correct spot or get a pedal w/the pivot bushing correctly located. Either option requires pedal removal.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
