WOW! Your overwhelming response has been a really nice breath of fresh air for us! We never expected to see this tremendous amount of support and can honestly say that it has given us a whole new outlook on the upcoming season. :yesnod: :hurray:

Again, thank you so much! It has taken moral around here and really brought it up to an exciting level that we haven't seen in quite some time. We will now be looking forward to handcrafting all of your braking systems with the usual levels of craftsmanship this coming week - but with a whole new smile! :D

Here is a general pic of the C3 power brake conversion:



The window will remain open for these super savings until 6 PM Friday the 28th of March. :flag

Paul,
Forgot to mention factory PS/PB. Don't know if it makes a difference for the hoses or not but it's a bigblock with side exhaust.
Thanks Mark Miller

Default Master Cylinder Notes:

Just a quick note on the master cylinders to help illustrate the differences between the years. We have rarely run across this, but need you guys to verify that your master cylinders are correct for your model years. 71'AirStrike (Chad Carpenter) actually ran into this mess when he went to install his system, as the Eckler's power brake conversion that he had previoulsy installed utilized a later model booster / master combo (unbeknownst to him :mad ).

It might be a good idea for you guys to "crack loose" your master cylinders for a second, and check this out for verification purposes. The manual brake people do not have to concern themselves with this detail, as they are all most definitely running the "deep style" master cylinders.

Here's the model year break point:
1968 - 1976 = deep / early pushrod style
1977 - 1982 = shallow / late pushrod style

Here are pics to illustrate the brand new, high quality Wagner master cylinders that we market, and the visual differences between the "deep / early" and the "shallow / late" style:

He sure was. He was very thorough in describing the system and answering questions. You can tell that he believes in his system and what he does. I'm looking foward to the brown truck so I'll get an opportunity to have something meaningful to do to the 'Vette this weekend.
