You have a great start what are your driveline plans.

[redmanf1]

What colors are you thinking???

[210Chevy]

Thinking about a Candy Apple Red, or Dark blue sapphire color driveline Automatic on column 350 small block.

[WagonCrazy]

Welcome 210Chevy. Nice 57 ya got there. I'm a bit partial to 57's myself. :cool:

[210Chevy]

Appreaciate it WagonCrazy do you have a 57?

[210Chevy]

What did I forget Carl?

[210Chevy]

I have a question friends, I'm trying to decide what size brake booster/porportioning valve to install 7" 8" or 9" do you think I would have enough room for the larger 9"? running a 350 small block. I have the converted pads on front, and shoes/drums on back and original brake pedal arm under dash. Any help appreciated...

If you go back and look at Carl's avatar you will see he passed away in November. I think Carl was probably looking for pictures.

If you are installing a booster, the largest one you can fit will work better... When people use the smaller ones, it's usually because they can't fit a larger one.

Ugly Gold Anodized chinaman boosters are why I have manual disk.

[TrifiveRichard]

My recommendation is look into to a hydraboost. They have a much more solid pedal, better braking, and don’t depend on vacuum. I will not go back to a vacuum booster.

[markm]

I would consider a hydra boost before some off shore Chinese crap.

From the suggestions so far, you can learn a lot more about your cars brake system and how to improve it on this link. I learned a few things.

Oh God! I'm so sorry Rocketman.

[210Chevy]

Thanks; for all the help, where do I find a hydraboost for a 57 chevy 210 never used one before I was thinking of a 8 or 9" all chrome booster/valve.

[TrifiveRichard]

Look on line. There are a number of sources, and prices vary a fair amount.

[210Chevy]

Does all chrome trim from a two door 57 chevy hardtop, fit my 57 chevy 2door 210 sedan post? :confused:
