    Modifying Brake Pedal

    I took apart the brake pedal today and found that the pivot pin in the C30 pedal I bought is the same centered position but up about a half inch. I don't believe I'll switch them out. I also adjusted the push rod out as far as I could and did find that I had better brakes, booster still bad...

    My pedal is the hydroboost pedal that came from the factory. Switching this thing from a diesel to gas has been a learning experience.

    700r4 Wiring Help.

    I went to a junk yard today looking for a brake pedal, which I found. While I was waiting on the person to remove it, I saw this vacuum switch. It was the TC lockup vacuum switch, GM number 14014519, and it actually does work!

    Modifying Brake Pedal

    I know there are a few post on switching from the hydroboost to power brake boost. I've purchased a power brake boost brake pedal from a C30 that had an AT and power brakes. I've looked at different post to see the differences between the hydroboost and power brake boost pedals. The power...

    Power Brake pedal

    There are some differences between the hydroboost pedal and one from the gas power brake booster setup. I've switched from hydroboost to vacuum boost and the pivot for the power boost push rod is in a different position than the hydroboost push rod, and also the bracket for the brake light...

    1985 6.2 Diesel vs Gas engine underhood wiring harness for conversion.

    I was lucky when I switched from the 6.2 to a 350. I just cut the wires out I didn't need and used the glow plug wires for the HEI power and the electric choke power. I kept the wires I needed such as the oil pressure, temp, alternator, trans and left the cruise control and AC wires intact.

    K5 Diesel to Vac booster pedal spring?

    I looked at that thread. So the only real difference is where the push rod and the brake light/cruise control switch bracket mounts? What I'm seeing is that the hydroboost pedal would push the power booster push rod further than needed? I'm I correct on this? I bought one from a C30 with power...

    K5 Diesel to Vac booster pedal spring?

    I too changed from hydroboost to vacuum boost. I haven't changed my brake pedal yet. There is a difference. I took pics of the pedal on my 73 and compared it to my 85. The picture on the left is from the 73, it originally had manual brakes that I converted to power brakes, the picture on the...

    Rebuilt Cardone Crap

    I switched from hydoboost to vacuum boost. I bought a combination master cylinder and booster that was rebuilt by Cardone. CRAP. The master cylinder leaks between the booster and the master cylinder. The vacuum boost is bad. After I bleed the new brakes, front and back, I checked the brakes...

    Motor mount question

    I had to use the diesel mounts when I switched to a 350 in my 85C10. The brackets that hold the motor mount, from the frame to the crossover, only has three mounting holes. The mounts that are used for the SBC, frame to crossover, has four mounting holes. I did keep the bolts loose when I...

    How To Refurbish Your Dashpad

    My attempt came out crappy. The cracks in mine were just to wide and many in my opinion. I'm going with the plastic cover.

    Groooooooovy

    I think I know the answer to my next question, but I'll ask anyway, Can the 2.75" brake shoe drum be replaced with a 2" brake shoe drum. or will the backing plate have to be changed? I ask this because I bought 2" brake pads and the wheel cylinders without taking it apart.
