POWER BRAKE SYSTEMS
Ford saw the need for power brakes on the early Bronco. Power brakes were optional for the 1976 and '77 model years. They picked a vacuum booster to do the grunt work in the system. That's when the stock tire size was 78-15 (small). WILD HORSES offers a Power Brake System for 66-77 early Ford Broncos.
Hydroboost Brake Systems
Today there are a whole lot of us who choose to run large tires (33's, 35's, 37's, 40's etc.) and we want good brakes too! The vacuum boosters are just inadequate for our needs.
When we installed our first Hydro system we were literally shocked at how well it worked. You will be too! The WH Hydroboost System consists of all brand new parts. Nothing rebuilt! Three different firewall adapter plates are used which bolt the system into the stock holes in your firewall. We recommend choosing a complete system, step by step, for its convenience and hassle free installation. You can, however, choose just the parts you want.
Step #1 Select a Basic Hydroboost System.
If you are running a 289, 302, 5.0 carbureted motor and you do not plan on changing the motor to Ford EFI select the 289/302 CA.
If you are running a 5.0 Ford EFI Mustang style with the air cleaner and throttle body on the passenger side select the 5.0 EFI. Our system will not clear 5.0 EFI with the air cleaner and throttle body on the driver's side.
If you plan to use the stock column mounted shifter for either the 3 on the tree or C4 transmissions you will need to step up to the 351 kit. Otherwise your shifter arm will hit part of the booster.
If you are running or plan to run a 351W/5.8 select the 351W. Please note that the 351W setup will require slight firewall modifications to mount the unit. (You will have to make the hole in the firewall a little bigger, this takes about five minutes with a die grinder.)
Sorry for the hideous looking firewall. There was so much factory black gunk that it required heavy use of a sander. The encircled section shows the area that will need to be modified when using the 351W System. A template for the modification is included with the 351W setup. Also note that the picture above is the finished result.
Step #2 Select Hydraulic Hose Set.
We recommend that you add our hose and fitting kit to your system. It will include custom Aeroquip stainless steel braided hoses and all the appropriate fittings for your steering box and pump. The hose kit even comes with the cool billet hose clamps you see in the photo. You can select "No Hoses" if you desire.
Step #3 Select Custom Brake Line Set.
These are the hoses from the master cylinder to the proportioning valve. These are custom made to order at WH. Each set is specifically designed for your application based on the information you provide. Select Rubber or Stainless or you can select the No Hoses option.
Step #4 Select Master Cylinder.
Pick your master cylinder for four wheel disc or front disc with rear drums.
Step #5 Information Required.
We will need the answers to the following questions so we can provide you with all the correct fittings, adapters, etc. and so that your system installs correctly with your existing components. Either call us at 209 943-7923 during our regular business hours, or provide the information in the general information section of your order. Either way, please include your phone number so we can call you if we have any questions.
1. What type of power steering box do you have? Is it mounted in the normal location?
2. What type of power steering pump do you have?
3. What type of proportioning valve do you have? Where is it mounted?
4. If you have a body lift, how much?
It is possible that you may not know the answers to these questions. That's ok, just call and one of our techs will help you identify your existing components. It's our goal to supply a complete system that can be easily installed in a day.
Dual Return Steering Pumps
These are the same heavy duty pumps with an added return port for use with hydroboost. This eliminates any possible flow problems which might result from teeing into the existing return line. While most of the time this is not a problem we have found the more components in the hydraulic system the more potential for a flow issue. I.E. say you are using hydroboost, power steering, ram assist and a fluid cooler.
Dual Return Remote Reservoir
Our newest power steering remote reservoir features dual return ports for use with our hydroboost brake systems. These allow better flow in the hydraulic system. The new vented WH billet screw on cap looks and functions better than the first style. The reservoir uses a replaceable filter to help keep contaminates out of you hydraulic system. We also have a billet screw on cap conversion kit for those of you with the first edition reservoirs. Replacement filters are available too.
