Jeep 4.0 in 69 Barracuda
Ok, the Jeep shop building my ODB2 wiring harness made a recommendation regarding my brakes which I am bringing to the forum.
While calling Summit Racing about steel braided lines for my barracuda brakes, they recommended a "Right Stuff" brake kit including the following...
Brake Booster
74 era Mopar Disk Brake Master Cyl
Proportioning Valve
Metal Brake Lines
My Jeep source is recommending a Hydro boost system with a Corvette Master Cyl and a Wilwood Proportioning Valve. And some form of brake lines.
For those unaware of Hydro Boost, its used on very large trucks (over 1 ton) and built up off road jeeps. It uses the power steering pump connected to the hydro boost brake booster. This booster is much smaller than a factory vacuum booster. He has done this on one of his Ford Muscle Cars, as well as a couple of his clients.
I will be honest, I am kind of interested in considering a hydro boost setup. Though since I would be having this custom built, going with the factory mopar era brake cyl. The shop which sells this setup, has a tried and true combination with the corvette master cyl which they stand by, they build the adapter between the booster and my firewall.
Thoughts?
Thanks, John
