I guess that Volvo pump just feeds a stock steering box? there are some deals that actually
go on the steering shaft.
You going to the Turkey Run, outside chance I may come down, you shouldn't be hard to spot, lol.
yea, it really is simple, batt power, ground, and switched 12v, since i already had an fittings on the hydro booster, all i had to do was get one fitting for the volvo pump, and i used the same lines.
id like to do a pure electric on the column, but not sure i wrap my head around that right now lol.
yea, its the normal thrash to get it back together before the turkeyrun, ittl be there hell or high water
Did i mention a set of l92 heads? and maybe some other stuff too......
Be conservative on your tune. We built a 63 nova ten years ago with stock casting l92. Couldn’t keep the head down at higher boost levels. Never figured it out. But we Didn’t put much time into trying to come up with a solution to that issue because we ended up leaning on it at the track one day and torched a head (maybe a couple months after finishing the build too). Already had Mast heads on the way though. Just a heads up cuz that was my experience with GM l92s with boost
They are another learning experience....
So.... i changed to a wilwood manual pedal, so i now have
7 to1 pedal ratio, of course had to make another braket to to hold brake switch, no biggie.
i like that ive reduced some clutter under the hood, but the jury in still out on if ill truly be happy with the performance of them compared to the hydro boost set up, but im willing to try. The pedal feel and effort i am fine with, just need a little more fluid to the fronts.
Old pile of parts....
Im still trying to dial in correct master cylinder, getting close.

thanks for the heads up.... no pun intended.....
what was your boost level and timing?
I had hydro boost on my nova, really liked it, been thinking about it on my truck.
I fought man. brakes on another project, pedal ratios, MC piston sizes, adjustable
por. valves, residual valves, about drove me crazy.

ive been lucky to have stumbled upon manualbrakes.com
Dave has been a wealth of information for me. Even though he hasnt sold anything, he has spent alot of time explaining and reccomending parts that will work for my hodgepodge setup.
Check out his website.

I hardly remember what I ate for breakfast! Lol. Setup was a SBE lq4 with the L92 heads... blow through carb with front mounted dizzy. I don’t believe we ever made it north of 20psi on the L92 heads.

oo thanks for that. Got manual brakes on my new project and I’m so lost with brake setups. Poor guy gunna get hit with all kinds of questions from us 😂

Some of the kits that stood out to me were the g-body and s10 and f-body stuff, if i could simply buy a "kit" and be done , it would deff come from him.
the regulator used to mounted to the factory intake fuel rail(just gave somthing else away...)
i just shortend the return lines and now it lives on the firewall.
So, i upgraded form the dual walbro 225's to dual aem 400's
To accommodate the swap, i had to put new terminal ends on the wiring to fit the bigger terminal lugs on the pumps, had to make a new line from the tank to the filter for one of them, and am currently waiting on a new braket to hold them in place.
there is an option for metric fittngs or, orb fittings,(-10 inlet/-6 outlet). I chose the orb and got new fuel filters that have orb -10 in/out and joined pump and filter with same size fitting.
Does the Caddy even hook the tires? I figured it would spin at will and thereby reduce the load on the trans. Don't forget to clean your trans cooler and lines out thoroughly after that mess. Beat on it, break it, fix it and repeat!
