      Want Hydro boost on 69 and have questions

      I want hydro boost on my 69 camaro and I have some questions.
      I've seen where an Astro Van HB or 99 Mustang is recommended. Is there a specific year Astro I need to look for? Is there any advantage between the two?
      I also have a t-56 trans is the master plate going to affect the HB?
      Any feed back will be greatly appreciated.

      Thanks John for the link. I didn't see any prices though. What did you pay for your setup?

      I'm using a dual return power steering pump, hydroboot unit, and master cylinder from a 76 Eldorado. Since I have the factory single piston calipers this should work well. The 76 Eldo used the same single piston calipers front and rear. Car not completed yet but the parts fit nicely. Although I did send the hydro unit out to have the fireall mount modified to match my 67 'Bird mounts. Was a pretty cheap setup and can get all parts from your local parts house.
