This forum is for info, and you happen to be lacking.

Why did you install a hydroboost.

Someone was bound to say it, I was first. ;)

This is a terrible post with very little info.  You can do a lot better and make this of interest for the future.

Is the Lincoln hydroboost the same as the Turbo Coupe, ran by separate pump or does it use the power steering pump?

Unless you had high need for vacuum for other things I don't know why the hydroboost system would work better.  Tell us exactly how it works and why you thought you needed it.

Pictures and instructions would be nice.  Any problems with the conversion?  Does it take up less room?  I know there are terrible for weight.

it runs from ps pump. it also has 2000 psi caliper pressure . hydroboost is great for large cams or boosted engines that have low vacuum. as for the weight ill know tomorrow when i do the swap. my reason for it is i have 22s and their heavy so the extra stopping force is needed. another thing is if the car  dies you still have 3 assisted stops .

I misread the first post, I thought you already did the swap.

When you do it, take notes and pictures and let us know about the conversion. 

Pictures, Pictures, Pictures.  This post is useless with out pictures.

**Sigh**
These cars are NOT 'Donks.

When your suspension parts start breaking more often I hope you'll realize why.

Looks like your bone stock on that 5.0 too from the other thread....Your gas mileage must suffer as well...
