My dad came out to visit last year and I did a couple panic stops to show it off, he loved it so much he went and added it to his 72 K20.
I hope I like the brakes. Heard that the hydroboost can be a bit touchy and takes some getting used to. The unit was purchased from Vanco. From what I understand they are supposed to be educated on porting the units for ram steering and high flow power steering pumps both of which I will be using. Did not like where my brake pedal sat with the provided fixed rod (what I preferred). Did some welding on the brake pedal arm today and made another hole. Sits like stock pedal now. Going to ditch the CPP master provided by them and use a GM master cylinder from same year as my rear axle. Want to limit dealing with aftermarket products as much as possible. Have read a lot of bad stuff about CPP. If all goes as planned first motor fit tomorrow.
