I got one off of a '91 Astro van and used a different Chevy MC. I paid about $40 for the hydro unit. Had to do custom brake lines and use the angled brake bracket on the firewall but other than that it was real easy.

Any hydroboost will work, just some are harder to install than others
Astro van is popular because of plentifull and cheap.
75.00 dollars??!! highway robbery!!! go down to your local UJerk yard and get one, I bet it will be less than half that and 3 bucks worth of soap and water at the car wash will make it look good. Also most yards give you the lines to hook it up.

PS just tried on out of a caddy it they work really well!! look for units in the late 70's Caddys

YEP several of them,, not rocket science to do, just buy the kit.
first one took me about 5 hours to do, next one was a lot faster.
Now I do them in about 2 hours.
