Well I got it installed on my 79. What a major improvement. And, no more leaks!!! I have so much money invested in this car, that I'm going to be burried in it..LOL. But what the hell, can't take it with you. Any of you guys in the same boat? Nice upgrade.

Where did you find a hydoboost for $ 300.00?
I've been thinking of doing this but having trouble with the $700.00 kits I've seen for sale!

pm me, there was a guy that used to be on here that sales the unit (used, but checked out and warranty) and modded to fit right in with all instructions for $150, and a parts list for summett racing adding up to about $150 this includes SS lines, but if you have a Steeroids you will need one of the adapters changed.
