I don't want to relocate the battery. I can't see how to plumb a dual reservoir master cylinder into the system. I have heard of sending power assist to the fronts only and leaving the rear drums attached directly to the master cylinder. I am skeptical about that set up. Also looked at hydroboost but don't want to upgrade to a modern P/S pump because I think the original would be stressed too much. 57 Black Tbird 312/auto
