Hydra Boost Brakes
Does anyone offer a Hydra Boost power brake setup for a C-3. I have power steering so the pump is already there. I'd like to have power brakes without vacumn concerns. Also wonder if an elec. headlight opening kit exists. Thanks

I was thinking I would have to design my hydroboost brake set-up, but a kit would be nice. If nobody makes one, it might be a good business proposition for someone to fab one up and produce them. 
Electric headlights sound like a good idea too

Power Brakes
A lot of cars with non-stock cams would benefit from better brakes. I put a vacumn pump on my 55 chev but took it off because the noise was real bad. A dual small vacumn booster ended up working but hydra boost would work better.

You can retrofit a unit from an older HD truck. People here have gotten then from junk yards (and even booted from the forum for slinging them here 
)
Do a search, I remember some very good writeups on the topic about whats involved in doing it yourself.
edit: search for hydroboost not hydraboost.

Full kit, Paul was very very very helpful.
You can get the hydro unit (very perty), Master cylinder and all hoses from them. Bit pricey but its garranteed to work and their customer support is outstanding I must have sent Paul an e-mail with questions every day for two weeks before i purchased. Great guy
