can the PS reservoir be moved?

I'm sure it can.... I just like it to appear it came from the factory that way....
Lowering the tank an inch or so would work wonders....

Not much progress in the past couple days....
Got my last pressure hose from Napa yesterday afternoon. I should have enough to hook it up... will do the return later.... before I try and crank the car obviously...
Maybe tonight I'll get close to dropping the engine in.....
Hey Blazer, so what did you end up doing for the pressure line from the pump to the HB? I was just curious. Napa still has my HB and original line. I might just pick it up from them today. I did pick up an 85 HB to gear line yesterday, did you make that one worked. I wish I could tell but with out having my HB it is hard to tell. I am just staring at a big empty spot on the firewall
I ran into the same problem with my conversion where the MC hit the ps res lid. I just elongated the bolt holes on the res bracket where it mounts to the fender and was able to get some wiggle room. Not really noticeable unless you are hovering right over it. Just a thought.
Did you get your lines made? I hope this hb to gear line works, because that would make it easy. I am just hoping NAPA comes through for me on the pump to hb line. J
Any picks of the HB with the cut & welded brake push rod.
if you don't like the look of the van reservoir, you can pop a passenger car one on it.
ask and ye shall receive....
The rod isn't pretty, but I ground the welds down to make it decently smooth....and knock the flux off....
I really wish I would have threaded both pieces and put a sleeve on it.....or maybe a hiem joint..... but alas... it is on there.....
Hey, thanks for the pics. Looks good.
I've been staring at/tripping over my Astrovan HB system in the garage trying to figure what to do with the pushrod. I was also thinking about cutting & sleeving it but didn't know if there was enough material to thread.
Did you "T" the other hose yet? When you're done, take pics. I might get me off my A$$ and do something about my brakes!!

Your going to love them blazer!!! I drove mine yesterday after bleeding the brakes in!!! OMG what a difference. The pedal is very firm, almost tochy with the skinnies on in the front. Hands down best bang for you buck mod. I was still just fooling around with them. The car will hold 20lbs and not even move! I still have only 150 bucks in everything, lines fluid, m/c and booster. IMO when campaired to the vacuum conversion why bother?
