I'm Awesome
Hi,
I am in the middle of restoring a '98 2-door LT and I after doing a lot of research, I ordered parts for the hydro boost conversion, primarily using information I found here. However, some of the information in this thread is dated and incomplete and I am now somewhat stuck.
Main problem is the brake pedal. The LMC pedal in post #1 is NLA and I have ordered the following GM part number pedals, neither of which work.
15906966 (the pedal that came was for a manual truck and doesn't fit)
15906961 (doesn't fit)
I am now looking at drilling the hole higher on the existing pedal as there is some information online about the measurements. But if anyone has a part number for a pedal that fits it would be appreciated.
Second problem is the hydro boost output rod, and spring/retainer assembly. I found out the hard way that this does not come with the rebuilt units. I ordered a 52-7358 hydro boost and a 10-2754 master. After a lot of searching, I found this site where I can get the parts, http://www.tallonhydraulics.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=40_16 but after a call there I found out there is no "standard" length of rod and I will likely need to order more than one and cut to fit. Since most of the conversions that are written about include hydro units from a wrecker, this fact was not mentioned in the research I did.
Thanks for your help.
