I've ordered a Hyper-Pak manifold from Clifford, and have not yet received it, but I'd like to hear from anyone who has gone through a Hyper-Pak installation. In particular, at this time, I'm worried about power brakes; it looks like there is no room for the vacuum booster. Is it possible to install the vacuum booster remotely? Years ago I had a Lotus Cortina that had the booster cannister mounted towards the front of the engine compartment, but the details are not clear anymore. Standard (manual?) master cylinder on the firewall and a clutch type slave cylinder on the vacuum booster?

The other thing is the carburetor. I've been looking for a Carter AFB, 400 or 500 cfm; some documentation is available for recommended jet settings, etc, specific to /6. But I haven't found much general literature on Carter carbs. Are jets still available for old Carter AFBs? Do old AFBs use the same jets as new (Edelbrock) AFBs? Is there any place online that has good, general info on Carter carbs?

Any advice would be appreciated.

We recently got a Clifford Hyperpak as well. As for carbs, I had already bought a 570 CFM Holley 4150 Street Avenger. We also have a 390 CFM 4160 Holley. OK, I like Holleys. If I had to do it over again, I'd probably buy a 525 CFM Road Demon Jr. ($260 from Summit).

As for power brakes, I spotted a booster/master cylinder on a Fiero. Probably 8" or so in diameter. We're going 4 wheel disc, so this may be "the ticket" for us. For a disc/drum setup, the Fiero booster looks like it would work with the Camero master cylinder.

The street rodders use these small setups and tuck them under the floorboards. Checkout Streetrodder Magazine, they advertise them there.

Hope this helps.
