You should PM andrewB70 about the Hydro-booster. From my perspective I love it. Street driven - it really helps deal with the low RPM's vacuum issues.
Andrew is a knowledgeable person on all mechanical issues. He should be able to steer you in the right direction.
Keep up the good work.  Who are you checking in on a for replacement door? I don't remember my sources off hand, but can look them up if needed. |
thank you roger!
the MSD box will probably go in the engine compartment above the heater box as you describe, or possibly on the inside of the firewall behind the glove compartment...
still thinking on it... and looking at a lot of pictures... and reading thread stories...
i am planning to order the hydratech hydroboost unit and the baer master cylinder monday morning.
i have more questions to get answered but based on what i've already been told it seems like that combo would stand a decent chance of working...
will also touch base with andrew to see what he thinks... thanks for the tips.
about the door, ahhh... i've talked to people at butler classics in wisconsin, frank's pontiac parts in california, and i've also searched dale's restoration parts and keep my eye on billions and trillions website too.
swapping the glass is also an idea, eh?
and i'm not particularly attached to the wing window in the 1968 door.
mainly, i just feel like both sides of the car should have the same glass.
here is the drawing of glass hardware for the 1968 door:
roger, do you have the 'body by fisher' service manual for 1969 model year?
it would be so helpful to me if i had the picture of glass hardware for the 1969 door.
let me know please.
there must be a way for me to get the glass right without having to get a whole new door...
thanks so much for checking out my project guys!!!
