MD Hydroboost system- SOLD

[Mikekerney]

After lowering my Bronco and going back to stock size tires, my Hydroboost has way too much stopping power. With the slightest touch I can lock them up and kiss the dash. I like my dash, but not that much. So, I'm going back to stock power brakes.
I'm including the following parts:
-Astro hydroboost unit with new seals installed from Pirate Jacks. Bracket modified to bolt to stock location by opening up the existing holes. Includes correct length push rod
-Master cylinder- less than a year old, just never painted it
-Russell fittings to convert to inverted flare hard line and stock hoses (over $100 in fittings)
-Hard line to steering box with fittings for box
-Pressure line to power steering pump
-Power steering pump with fitting added for dual return (no pulley). Pump is one year old from Advance Auto Parts, housing is 94 Mustang GT.
-Return hoses
-New Wilwood proportioning valve and hard lines to stock proportioning valve
-I'll even throw in the braided throttle cable that you will need since the existing mechanical throttle linkage won't clear the hydroboost.
Buyer pays shipping.

question where did you find that intake at on the carb

 

[moteaux]

PM sent to ya.

 

[Mikekerney]

Intake is made by Spectre. Low-profile plenum. Filter is 4" K&N

Advance Auto Parts has them and currently has a 20% online sale going on.

So Mike you have had her on the road? Must feel good to drive it after all this time. Thats a great deal on the brake set up I am sure someone will scoop it up. If you are going back to totally stock I may have the stock power steering pump brackets and a pump for core if you want them let me know.

 

[Mikekerney]

Well, I finally had it on the road for a minute. But, for some reason, decided to clean up the interior. When I pulled the carpet I found the biggest mess you've ever seen. Inner fenders, quarters, and door jambs were completely rusted out. Previous owner did an amazing job of hiding it. (that's another story)

So, I tore it all apart and it's going back together. Should be back on the road by spring.

I have an extra core on the pump, so I'm in good shape. Thanks

Whoa, I like that air cleaner assembly.

 

[72broncoholic]

thanks ordered mine today

 

[jmhend]

Mike, I know what you are going through.... and I am with you Pat.. that air cleaner is clean.

 

[Mikekerney]

Hydroboost is still available.

 

[Mikekerney]

Spectre also makes a cool inline air box if you want to pipe it out to fresh air.

Just looked at the pics. Is that a disc/drum master cylinder? I need a disc/disc.

Pm sent

 

[Mikekerney]

I believe the pressure is handled more by the proportioning valve than the master cylinder. I could be wrong. You could find a Camaro disc/disc prop valve, or just tune it with the one I'm including.

I think this master cylinder was stock on a disc/drum vehicle.

 

[FRANKO289]

what kinda Master cylinder is that ??

 

[68 Bronco Sport]

Hydroboost

A disc/drum cannot be used on a disc/disc set-up. The volume of the drum portion of the master cylinder reservoir is too small for the calipers and usually have a built in residual valve (which cannot be located unless you remove the hard line) which holds pressure in a drum set-up which would cause lock-up in a disc set-up. Even if removed the volume would still be too small.

My first pm didn't go through, but I'm interested in a better pic of the power steering pump to see if it will work for my application. Does it come with brackets to say hook up to a 289?

Thanks,
Brian

I believe the master is from a late 70's chevy truck, but can't be sure. I went through the parts store shelves and tried on quite a few before I found one that fit.
