So.…… Jeff and Judy decided to go with a Hydra-Boost braking system ….. Good Choice !!!!!...… Ordered...… The exhaust on the drivers side was going to be a problem...… We ordered a set of Holley S-10 manifolds and when they came in.... I test fit them and due to the #605 steering box placement and the actual shape of the manifold it just wasn't going to work......I ended up trying the stock manifold again and noticed that if I ground of a portion of the steering box it would work...… we will be returning the Holley units as this odd combination just didn't work...….Spent the morning today pulling the steering box in and out grinding and fitting.....Also I received the Hydra-Boost system, and while the person who installed the Swinging pedal assy did a great job....Guess what...…. It mounts with completely bolt pattern..... LOL...…. I removed the old stuff and will be making a new mounting plate and reworking the firewall to suit.....It never ends...…. LOL

Got the firewall patched and sealed around the Hydra-Boost...….. Got the ECM and Trans modules mounted along with the GM connect and Cruise Fuse panel...…. Waiting for more parts to show up ………. Still waiting for the Rick's Tank assy that was supposed to ship on Jan 29th.......... Time to figure out what A/C system to get that will fit this application also...….

Got the Lokar cable shifter and the Dakota Digital GSS-3000 installed today …… Just about ready to neaten up the trans tunnel opening and get the new tunnel installed.... Time to start researching out what A/C system we are going to install and then wiring...….. Moving along.....
