    1971 Roadrunner Steering Column issues, what am I missing?

    My steering shaft extended once and held the steering housing away from the mounts like yours showing. Had to give the end of the steering shaft a couple of love taps to collapse back in place. It unexplainably extended and was a bugger getting back in place.

    Hydroboost break set up - constantly overflowing/foaming

    I would try removing the cooler and tank and connect the return to the pump and see what simplifying things does.

    Hydroboost break set up - constantly overflowing/foaming

    Foaming is generally caused by: Overheating A leak in the system Or a starving pump.

    Members with 4 wheel disc systems.....Can you get the tires to skid?

    How about checking vacuum at the booster while watching the brake pressure?

    Members with 4 wheel disc systems.....Can you get the tires to skid?

    If I were walking in some dog shoes... I would check pressures on all four corners with a vacuum pump running. It would also be cool if you could check the pressure on your brake pedal with maybe a bathroom scale? Then check all the pressures again with no vacuum pump and the booster unhooked...

    Enter project, hydro boost.

    Thanks for sharing, very good information. I have the same setup of manual brakes on a 72 Road runner and I have purchased a hydroboost from an Astro van to do the same setup that you have already done.

    Enter project, hydro boost.

    Did you use the proportioning valve for manual brakes or power brakes?

    Enter project, hydro boost.

    Did you have power brakes originally or manual brakes? I guess did you do anything with your peddle or use the OEM? What dia is the master cylinder?

    4 wheel disc brakes and a MANUAL master cylinder !

    I'm running 18-in wheels, 14-in rotor plus a 4-piston caliper there's not a lot of room on the inside of the wheel to the caliper. So I would have to say 15-in wheels would not work.

    4 wheel disc brakes and a MANUAL master cylinder !

    My 72 roadrunner had factory 11-in drama up front and 10-in drum in the rear with a 15/16 MC. I upgraded to the 1 1/8" MC and factory disc up front. Pedal effort was high and it was biased towards the rear. So I wanted to try something with more stopping effectiveness and be more balanced. So...

    Electric power steering for b-body

    For me I like the feel of a manual gearbox going down the road, but I don't like parking a manual gearbox, thus the invention of power steering. Sometime in the 90s OEMs used a electrical pressure relief valve so that when you got up to speed it essentially lets the power steering have minimal...

    Electric power steering for b-body

    I also saw the video about a guy putting it into a mustang and it is very intriguing. So I was at the pull aparts and I grabbed the power electric steering from I think an '07 Prius. I've also got a couple of spare steering columns from 72 and 73 b bodies and then I haven't put much time into...

    Hydro-boost questions (looking for data)

    This is why I have one on my bench right now, for that "someday" project. Thanks for the pics Mike67, the adaptor plate is sort of what I was thinking about or weld up the stud holes on the astro van mount and redrill. Just curious, what is this?

    Hydro-boost questions (looking for data)

    That is correct, it will need an adaptor like most/all of the aftermarket ones have. Another observation is that aftermarket also rotates the HB so the accumulator is away from valve cover, this also moves the pressure lines. This might be good or not depending on the application. In my 72...
