    Brake Master cylinder & booster improvement (using the K car parts)

    I have the 50- 3122. Booster and master cylindern in the same box but whitout reservoar. And ofcours the one I have out of a b- van, do not fit.. Did a little measurements. The hole in de booster rod is 4 mm larger then fork and its bolt. The fork is 4.5 mm wider then the rod. An easy fix.

    Brake Master cylinder & booster improvement (using the K car parts)

    The two photos in post 9, I think, is from my Volare 77 original slant car. Now 400 bb and hp exhoust manifolds. The original booster fit but tight as you kan see. Not possible to remove valve cover. I also got a tandem booster but think it was for a Daytona turbo, not sure. The hole at the end...

    Volare 77 /6 to 400

    Lots of good info BudW and others on the 8.8 swap! Delite or not to delite the ISO-stuff is the question. Time, cost, local parts access and other consequences is all parameters in the equation. In stock form the car has always had the issue with non centerd axle (7.25) in wheelhouse. I did...

    Volare 77 /6 to 400

    Yes Volvo is king over here. Saab do not exist any more as a car maker. New parts for old and new US cars are no problems but findig US parts at junk yards are very slim whit a few exeptions like vans and trucks.

    Volare 77 /6 to 400

    Impressive! Your headers looks brand new. My HP manifold casting nr is 3751068 and 37510771. Well, still waiting for valvesprings and meanwhile doing a few side projects. One is trying to remove pistons from my sadly seized -73 440. Four is out but now I have to lift the crank to clear (I...

    Volare 77 /6 to 400

    Seems to be the same as yours. My is the one as in post nr 12. Will look at the casting nr tomorrow. Yes, raising the engine from below is a good idea, but I want to be able to remove the valve cover now and then so I opt for the small tandem booster. Hope it will clear the covers. Many years...
