    all New components, Sure, the brake booster is from a 58 Chevrolet all new components got a hard brake pedal. I got a half inch maybe a half inch plate on the pedal. Any idea? image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

    I've got ideas.....but long distance diagnosis...
    you had brakes before, but without a booster, so you added a booster to reduce the pedal force necessary?
    with or without vacuum you have a hard pedal?
    Does it stop the car?

    by the way, boost is a replacement for displacement....

    i think we figured it out. it has the 58 conversion and geometry of rods is out of wal. ordered new mounts to get rid of this concoction :). i added disk brakes.
     
  4. All I know is that if you start having overheating problems you might want to flip your fan and shroud onto the other side of the radiator, that's a lot of blockage out front and the louvres look like they are there to allow air to p*** through easier when driving at speed
