Hydroboost master cylinder
« on: January 20, 2016 - 08:28:12 PM »
I am installing a astro van hydroboost on my cuda.  The astro van master cylinder is not the best looking thing. Does anyone know of a reasonably priced alternative? Maybe something chrome if anyone makes one.

Thanks  jimmycuda71

Brad, I think it's the same one but not the kit version?

You might need a residual pressure valve?  :dunno:

FYI I looked at many hydroboost systems at local salvage yards and found they all appeared to have been produced by the same supplier. Dodge, Chevy and Ford. So it may be possible another brand would also fit. Take the ugly cylinder to local parts store and compare it to a few. Bolt pattern, there is a locating bore diameter and the push rod contact distance.
