    Back in the game, and need a little advice...

    http://www.hydratechbraking.com/brakeunits.html Unfortunately finding rebuilt units at parts stores has become problamatic. I have 2 units, one of theirs (expensive) and an old parts store booster.

    movie: "Clean" - most TR content ever!

    There's a heater control valve even on non AC cars. It just opens and closes the heater hose valve.

    What's having AC have to do with the heater control valve?

    Turbine housing

    I'd get the wheels straight (steering wheel at the 2:00 position) disconnect the steering shaft from the box, turn it until the wheel is straight and reconnect the steering shaft.

    1983 1987 cutlass tail lights

    The only way I could get rid of the whine after I installed my Hydroboost over 20 years ago was to go with a larger resevoir designed for hydroboost. 8.25

    twisted driver seat

    My seat was bent and twisted for a long time not to mention the foam being worn out from 210 k of driving. When I reupholstered it last year I found the frame was cracked and I welded it. I got new foam 1614-Foam Seat Bun. Gbody parts lists them as well but they were out of stock when I...

    WTB RJC Front Mount

    I had this one. Say's 12v. That's what I did and it killed it. Got another one and used a 5v source and now it works fine. I think the instructions are wrong.

    What is this??

    With stock wiring the fan comes on high for 3 things. 1- AC pressure above 300 PSI. 2-coolant fan delay relay after the car is turned off. 3-temperature above 226 deg. when the coolant temp switch comes on.

    Eaton GM 8.5 10 bolt Posi Rebuild ?? What Clutch Disc sets to use?

    Pretty simple. I'm pretty sure you can do it without removing the case. I had mine out since I was replacing the ring and pinion. If you have to remove it make sure you don't mix up the shims on the sides of the case.

    Hydroboost unit seal/gasket source

    Depending on which hydroboost unit you have the seal around the piston that goes to the pedal push rod may not be replaceable at least that's what all the instructions say. Here's a link that shows the non rebuildable ones can be...

    Ramchargers fans/Intrepid fans - those who've done it please chime in

    I did mine slightly differently. I trimmed the tabs and sides so it would fit the inside edges of the radiator. I removed the lower bracket that held the stock fan in. I put the fan in with the lower lip of the fan inside the ridge of the radiator. I put the stock lower bracket on the top to...

    This thing smokes under full boost only

    I don't like the smell of open breathers so I personally won't run without them. Catch cans eliminate that completely. Before I rebuilt my engine, 210k on it, I'd empty the catch cans every 1500 miles or so and the valve cover can would have about 4 oz of oil and the PCV one about half that...

    Brake advice, what direction to go for a somewhat experienced noob.

    I have a question. Are the studs the same as stock? The reason I ask is I don't see black covers on your lug nuts.

    Bad Gas causing ping?

    No Idea if that stuff works. When it happened to me i was on long trips so burning through a tank wasn't an issue.

    This thing smokes under full boost only

    You might have to give it more throttle than I did. Remember mine was severe and it only took a little. My main point was under load and in neutral are totally different. If your dipstick is coming out there's definetly some blowby. Maybe better flowing breathers. Also if it's pressurizing...
