Help with Hydroboost Install
Installing a Hydroboost brake system on a 74 corvette. The instructions that come with it show how to route the hoses using a power assist steering box, which obviously the corvette does not have, Any one have a diagram or pics on how it is installed using the unique C3 corvette power steering parts?
Thanks!

Not from a kit but if you look part way down you can see how I did the hoses on mine

(It's changed since they as I added a port to the pump rather than Tee and added a power steering cooler)

Mine is really simple, plumbing wise, one line from pump to HB, HB has a pressure line to the steering, AND a return line to the pump tank/reserve, and that is where I put the T in the return line.....should work fine with a stock pump and steering box.....
but I have a serp drive so my reserve tank is a plastic one mounted on the frame under the m/cyl......I also have rack steering, but that's not an issue, same plumbing.....
