Default Hydroboost unit on eBay

I found this Hydroboost unit for sale on eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1

Would this unit fit in a '69?

I tried looking up the P/N he listed at Yearwood but they don't list it.

It seems like a great price.

What's your opinions?

TIA

Dave

I would say yes the unit will fit. You will have to do a slight bit of modificating but yes it is a good source for hydroboost.
If you buy it we can discuss the modifications.

It is only slight modifications. Get the unit first and then we can go into it. I have posted on this many times but if you get the unit I can go into it again.
It is nothing major, simple stuff really
