Re: Treadle-vac replacement, ABS Power Brake kit

I was able to do a quick fitting of the pedal assembly toe plate. I removed the treadle-vac to toe plate bolts so I could remove the toe plate and leave the treadle-vac in place. I have a clutch, so I will need to use my plasma cutter to cut out the square hole in the ABS Brake plate. It's a little crooked but allowed me to quickly fake drive it to see how the new pedal and location did. It will definitely work for me. I could still pivot on my heal from the throttle to the brake. Guys will larger feet may have to pick their foot up like any other vintage car to press the brake. Even my 93 Dodge Ram D250 you had to pick your foot up to brake.

This is extremely ideal for me. ABS did a great job. I don't have to make any holes, rig up a pedal assembly, or loose my crotch vent. This is plug and play and completely reversible without modifying the car.

I did confirm it's a correct 4:1 pedal ratio. It's a Bendix style 8" dual booster.
