INSTRUCTIONS
1960-72 C-10 TRUCK
POWER BRAKE BOOSTER KIT (STAINLESS CHROME)
STEPS: READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!
IMPORTANT: THIS KIT IS ASSEMBLED FOR SHIPPING
PURPOSES ONLY! BE SURE TO CHECK ALL NUTS AND BOLTS FOR
ADEQUATE TORQUE PRIOR TO USE. DON’T FORGET!
1. Remove original master cylinder, pedal clevis and hard lines.
2. Remove master cylinder from power booster as you will need
to bench bleed it prior to bleeding the system. Inexpensive
bleeder kits are available at any auto parts store for minimal
cost. We also sell a bleeder kit. Install your pedal clevis onto
booster.
3. Install the booster onto the original studs that mounted the
master cylinder to the firewall. You may need to mark and drill
the two remaining holes that mount the bracket to the firewall. Some trucks mounting studs are diagonal, this is normal. NOTE: SOME
FIREWALL STUDS WERE COURSE THREAD AND SOME WERE FINE THREAD, YOU WILL NEED TO SUPPLY THE APPROPRIATE NUTS FOR THE
INSTALLATION!
4. You will need to drill a 3/8” hole 1” lower than the original clevis hole in pedal. Mount the heim joint onto the lower hole with sup
plied thick washer between the pedal and heim joint. Check for proper adjustment by making sure the brake pedal is all the way up and
no pressure is being applied to the booster. Be sure to tighten the clevis jam nut.
5. Mount your bench bled master cylinder to the power booster. Connect all appropriate hard lines and bleed the system. NOTE: ON GM
MASTER CYLINDERS, THE FRONT PORT IS FOR THE FRONT BRAKES AND THE REAR PORT IS FOR THE REAR BRAKES.
6. If you are running disc brakes be sure to have the proper proportioning valve kit for your application.
7. Double check all of your work and proceed to check the system for any leaks.
8. Be sure to hook up your vacuum line to the appropriate port on the manifold.
Recommendations:
1. We highly recommend that you perform a vacuum check on your particular engine.
Acceptable vacuum numbers would be from 15in/hg to 22in/hg. For those who have
lower numbers we offer a vacuum pump. Call for details.
2. We also offer disc brake master cylinders and proportioning valves for those who do not
want to run power brakes. Call for details.
NOTE: Booster may differ from picture
depending on type of booster options
you have chosen.
