OK, just got off the phone with Hydratech, LOTS of info. Seems as though that our cars need something like a 7 or 7.5 to 1 ratio booster. Mustangs/Cobras have 4.5 or so, Big trucks 8 or 8.5 to one. No idea how it gets calibrated (yet). I see one from a H1 hummer on ebay for $40 needs some work it looks like, any ideas if that would be a good one to play with? should be an 8:1. Mustang/Cobra boosters require to much rework to deal with.

Cleaned and painted, finding, removing, shipping, the service is worth it unless you have the time to crawl thru junk yards to find a suitable donor. The choice is always yours!

After wearing out some shoes at the local U pullit yard, and calling around for nearly 2 years, I finally gave up and paid for one off ebay 160 bux complete with m/cyl, and ALL lines at my doorstep....
it cleaned up really nice, and so I used original lines with minor mods to install in my '72 here....
local yards are scoured clean for them, somehow, someone is buying all they get straightaway....
