Hydro Boost Question
« on: October 21, 2014 - 01:49:52 PM »
So I have no idea how to id the correct year GM astro van to source a hydroboost unit off of.

I was out at the wreakers a few weeks ago and spied this.  Is this the right unit to use?

If it is on an Astro van it should be right , only a couple of years used them

That's the same one I have Jason, it's just the bracket that mounts it on an angle , You would use a different mount.
I still haven't finished mine yet.... ::)

I think the '95 and before mounted the m/c straight out from the booster.  In '96 or '97, the m/c was mounted at a downward angle.  I think you want the '95 and before but I have not paid much attention to them on Mopars
