Which Hydroboost Unit
I have my plans and Saturday morning I am making a run to the junk yard to do some picking. One of the things on my list is to pickup a hydroboost unit off of a GMC Van or Chevy Astro van. I have looked at them before and I know there are differences in them. I have seen some that come straight out from the firewall and some that angle downward from the firewall. My thinking is to pick up the one that angles downward from the firewall.
Can anyone confirm my thoughts so that I don't make the 40 mile run up only to have to go back the following weekend?
THanks,
Eddie

In the back of my head I'm remembering mid-90's Astrovan. I have one that I picked at a junkyard a year or so ago and it has the flat mounting plate.
IIRC it wasn't too hard to remove as far as junk cars go. Saw off the engine bay lines and lay down under the slimy/greasy/bloody interior to get the mounting bolts out. I'm lucky that the junkyard I frequent doesn't have the bloody interiors, just slimey/greasy.
