Order an extra set of the nylon buttons......your going to need them!

If I can get up early and get the yardwork done I may have time to stop by to lend a hand. I will give you a call in the AM if I can break free. Paul Brelie

Does it knock if you have it in park and rev the motor a bit, or only under load?

The aftermarket Hydroboost set up I purchased comes equipped with an accumulator, which is said to give power assist stopping for a short period of time should you loose pressure in the system. I like the HB, just be cautious from who you purchase the unit from.

Here is the information for Van. If you do a search for Vancopbs you will find him in another thread on the Hydroboost steup. Van Vanco Power Brake Supply Vancopbs.com 800-256-6295 Vancopbs@aol.com Fax 323-563-1588

After my issues with the Hydroboost install, and the lack of involvement from POWERBRAKEBOB, I ended up going elsewhere and talking to somebody who knows the system and was able to ship me parts so I could finish my install. Vancopbs came through for me when Bobby was nowhere to be found. He...

I will need to call Van to spend some more money fixing the problems I have with Bobs system. I would have dealt some more and worked out my issues with Bob, but it seems he does not have any answers or even a requirement to return messages when a customer has problems. Nice way to run a...

Can anyone tell me what the thread size is on the two high pressure openings of the Hydroboost? This would be the opening that Bobs banjo fittings got installed in. I think the size was mentioned in the instructions, but after I thought I had everything figured out, I threw them away. (they were...

Beware of Bobs finished braided hose sets that he sends out. After 2-1/2 months of not getting parts delivered, wrong parts sent, Service Tech that doesnt exist over there, and an attitude from Bob, I was finally able to button the Hydroboost System up and pull the car out of the garage to clean...

Has anybody had trouble attaching the brake rod assembly to the brake pedal? The hole diameter in the end of the rod assembly was just too small to slip over the cylinder on the brake pedal. Took me quite some time to figure this out, but after drilling it out just a bit it fits fine now. I...

I had a weight on my driveshaft that would hit the driveshaft loop on a hard start, no other time. Drove me nuts for weeks, until I finally saw where the paint was being whacked off on the loop.

When you get back, let me know if you have the exhaust hanger that connects to the cat flange, and ties into the transmission support. Paul 86 GN

You can always try HR Parts-N-Stuff for their motor mounts. Paul is a stand up guy and his mounts are second to none.

Wow!!!!! Great service, a nice guy and smokes good cigars. You guys convinced me, I will be calling Jack in the next couple days to buy some parts with my christmas money. Lets see.......... Racegate, test pipe, crossover :D I'll send you a check along with an Ashton Paul Brelie 86 GN...

Beef up your tranny and get a 9" 3200 stall. I went from running 13.8 to 13.45 without doing any other changes.

My current GN has always been very dependable to run at least 18 lbs boost on 93 octane without knock. With 100 octane, 22 pounds of boost was no problem. Last weekend on the way to a local strip, coming out of a toll booth my Caspers knock gauge lit up. After settling down and easing into...

Simple solution for anybody who may be required for emissions testing in the future. I'm from Chicago and have a moderatly optioned GN but have not had to take a test in 5 years. If you buy into a Classic Car Insurance premium from a company that specializes in such, you can get a waiver...

You may want to pull out each plug and check to see if the porcelain is cracked near the base of the threaded section. Had the same problem as you, even checked the plugs and they appeared OK. Only after pulling them again and carefully checking them did I notice the crack. Replaced the plug and...

Had the same sort of problem about a year ago. Checked everything that could have been a problem without any luck. Turns out I had got some bad gas. Drained the gas from the tank and sure enough, had some water mixed in with the fuel. Filled it up with some good gas and the problem went away...
