[Taylor04]

Well I took some quick pics of the install, almost finished!

rebuilt astro van hydroboost
firewall mounting bracket by turboc87gn
master cylinder from powerbrake drivetrain
rebuilt steering box
reman steering pump from napa
AN-6 fittings/hose
speed bleeders (makes life much easier)
Jeep steering shaft

Will post more pics/info soon! Brake pedal feels amazing, steering is 10x better. Yes the reservoir will be permanently mounted soon!

It's a cheap one from speedway. I want one with separate returns.

During the install I kept thinking I need a line-lock! Shouldn't be to bad to install either, there is room for days now without the powermaster. I really need to get some brake line wrenches before I install the line-lock. I think the whole system has broken in a bit, the steering seemed to loosen up and the brake pedal feels smoother. Maybe it is just slowly getting all the air out of the system because I will usually check the reservoir after driving for a while and there are still bubbles/foam in the fluid. Today I changed the autozone brand steering fluid for some lucas fluid and additive. The pump whining has greatly reduced but I would still like it quieter. A cooler is really needed...

Why the Jeep steering shaft?

Why the Jeep steering shaft?

Do a search on here...The factory steering shaft sucks especially once it starts to wear out..the one off a jeep is a bolt in and its works way better....
