Hey, Brian
Do you still have the old Hydrovac?
I need one for a '59 Chevy 2-ton Viking 6000, that mounts under driver side.
Also, a 1 1/2 or 1 3/4 master cylinder.
The 1 1/4 cylinder bore that is on it now is not working properly.
The only way that I could get the smaller master cylinder to work is by
installing an inline pressure valve.

"These in-line pressure valves retain a minimum brake line pressure to help
eliminate excessive pedal travel in both disc and drum brake systems."
First test drive, on the highway, will be tomorrow. They are still a little on
the "pump and pray" side, but it does stop, eventually.

hi,
i had a hydrovac in my truck, but ive since changed out to a newer (safer)
duel master cylinder and booster on the firewall.
now ive got a question,. ive seen a lot of hydrovac boosters mounted in the
engine compartment, but mine was mounted under the floor, right behind the
front tire. is this common? this is obviously the original mounting location
for mine, but has anyone else ever seen one mounted there?
TIA
