That's some set-up! Very nice. Too bad I don't have power steering.

One question though (Slightly off topic). On my manual brake set-up, my rear residual valve is after the proportioning valve. Did I do it wrong?

GN87, had you tried the factory HB system before going this route? If so what where the differences in your opinion?

I went directly from the PM to the Tallon hydroboost system.

Anybody using the Tallon Hydroboost I highly recommend that you make sure you have the brass proportioning valve. The original cast iron valve most likely will not be able to handle the increased line pressure.

I wouldn't think so. The residual is there to hold back psi, and should do it on either side of the prop.
Only instructions I have, are to put it as close to the mc as possible.

Thanks. I'm about 6" away or so. That was the first section of strait tubing available. Anyway, I can't see believe a few inches of tubing should make a difference in 10 feet. Either way, I can't/wont change it now. My brake problems from previous threads are finally resolved.

Just wanted to know what you thought.

I am interested as well but I currently have the power master system...my motor went south... and they are pricey when found. so I was looking into the hydroboost conversion. what is the best place to look for the entire kit and details to change it all over? I have searched on here quite a bit but nothing really recent....up to date places with pricing to do the conversion.
any help Is appreciated.

I went with Kirban's kit. My good friend/certified mechanic will be installing it for me and he didn't think it would be an overall difficult job and you keep your brake pedal. Here is the link:

I know it's pricey as I think when I picked it up last year it was $100.00 cheaper.

I hope to have this installed next month as the car will come out of hibernation from it's winter nap.

I ordered my kit from Tallon Hydraulics. He sells a kit with the Wilwood master cylinder. It makes life simple to just order a kit that comes with everything you need. Butch is awesome and was very helpful even after the install. Here is a link to his site. Hope this helps.

This is the same unit that I ordered from gbodyparts for the same price minus the master cylinder!!! Smdh!!!
