I have hydroboost on mine and pedal feel is perfect. I run the OEM 69 disc's up front and have the S10 Blazer rear disc conversion, the parts of which I picked up in the local Pull-A-Part. The hydroboost unit itself and the correct firewall mount came from http://www.custompowerbrake.com/ The M/C is a 4 wheel disc Corvette part.
Based on my experience, I feel hydroboost is well worth the effort.

I love finned valve covers I have a similar set for my 467.

Take notes. Write information down. That way there isn't repeated questions as on other post or threads. It goes a long ways for future references...

Mike, you need to build one of these and have disc brakes with your 8 lugs......

I saw that several years ago and thought it was a cool idea. I think Roush was doing the conversion. At the time, the price was out of my range for a car I only drive 1000 or so miles a year. I don't think they are doing them anymore. The drum brakes are actually ok but the single master cylinder is a little frightening. The Pontiac Delco power booster/master cylinder through 1962 is really goofy. The master cylinder piston goes into the booster. So to upgrade, you have to replace both. Just thought hydroboost would be a neat way to get added boost, reduce size, and get a dual system. I was happy to read it won't work well before I took it all apart and found out the bad news for myself. Once I double the HP of the current weak 455, I will have to do something.

Her is what I did. These pumps come with the air in and out in different locations, I chose this one because it fit my lay out. This is a Ford pump. It was designed for the vacuum brakes on a truck. Some out there look the same but supply much less vacuum. Most of these pumps made for GM only supplied vacuum for HVAC controls and cruise control so keep that in mind. It came with a flat pulley, I changed it to a GM to help keep the belt located.
