Hydroboost/calipers for a 79 coupe

[Werecow91]

Yeh I really wanna follow this tight as well.. see I wanna keep the 4 lug style hubs and axles on mine as well. I'll be limited to a 10in disc on the back and an 11in on the front as I'm gnna be using 15 in wheels.. Yeh I know.... But I've got a thing for the old 10 hole style wheels... I just love the look!!

Ive actually had a conversation with the people from LMR about changing the high pressure hose over to fit the power steering pump from a F-350 that came equipped with hydroboost. Said pump will bolt up to my factory mounting bracket and adequately supply a hydroboost system. Only issue I have is I don't have a complete hose shop in my little garage/shed and I'm still about a year or so away from dropping the bug block in my car.. Gotta get it ready ya know... So it doesn't necessarily have to be electric or a PBJ system to work, there are other power steering pumps that work, it's just a matter of finding what fits..

I'm using a 1990 Ford Escort pump. Bolted up fine to the stock bracket, uses the same 14mm fitting as the stock fox pump, and has the right plumbing for the the remote reservoir. I believe the 87-88 T-bird turbo coupe pump is another option as well as it's a hydroboost setup and uses the same style pump

In fact, I think the LMR Coyote swap PBR kit would work with this setup. I just don't want to spend the $450 to be the test pilot.

And yeah, there should be one master hydroboost thread because this info is tough to find on the net, as well as there being 50 ways to do it, and some of them are wrong. (like wrong fittings uses that won't reliably seal)
