Power Steering Pump

Power Steering Pump && Hydroboost

Replacing my pump, since it wines horribly anything above 1800 rpm, but there are 2 available, one with two inlets to resovoir, and one with one inlet to resovoir, which do I need?

The reservoir with 2 inlets is for the hydro boost brake systems in the 450's or for those that have converted to and ditched the vacuum brake system.

Okay, since I'm going to do this, what better time to do hydroboost, right? For that all I need is
-pump w/resovoir that has 2 return lines
-hydrobost brake booster
-power steering lines

Is that all, or am I missing something? I believe my master cylinder will work, because its the same part number as the Super Duty with Hydroboost..

Get the pump with the second hook up. You can plug or cap it until you need it.

I just ordered the pump with two, amd the brake booster +lines , do it all at once if that is in fact all I need? Any input Mel?

I would suggest doing a search on hydroboost and or looking in the tech articles as it's been covered thoroughly; extremely thoroughly in here and any question you may have should already be in print...so to speak...

 

[justinray]

I got it figured out, sorry.

Not sure what year you are working on, but you may need a brake pedal with the pin mounted higher...I know you said you had it covered, but this can be an issue with hard pedal and/or damage to hydroboost unit.

1993, any issues there?
