'76 hydraboost conversion
Okay guys,I'm considering a hydraboost conversion for my 76.It now has the stock power setup and it pretty much sucks..or in terms of vacuum it doesn't suck...well it sucks a little but not enough.Is there a parts list floating around out there some where or a paper on this conversion?I've done a search and didn't find a heck of alot.Thanks guys.

Do some searching & widen your terms: hydroboost, hydra boost, hydro boost, etc. You'll find all you need to know. Probably the best suggestion is the one I missed - Install the HB studs in the firewall & use the nuts to hold on the HB unit foar any needed service.

you have to cut the rod in the boost unit and thread it to put the clevis on for attaching to the pedal. Do the advanced search, I think GTR1999 or Norvalwiliam posted some good pics of what ya have to do to it
