My next 2 bumps in the road.............

I have a Hydro Boost P/S Pump......................Can I just block off the top spout on the side of the pump?

Its a return line I believe, so it SHOULD be next to no pressure while running................no??

The next thing is,what do you connect that front cross over pipe to?

Its the small pipe that connects to the front of the heads.

Trying to get this thing road worthy for the puyallup and spokane good guys shows.

Thanks in advance.

Re: My next 2 bumps in the road.............

The pipe on the front of your heads is most likely your steam vent. You will want to run that to a high point in your coolant line. Some drill and tap their water pump and run it there, but I just ran it to a spare port on my radiator.

Hydro boost pumps have one pressure and two returns. You can plug a return with no problems.

for the steam vent, here is an option if you dont want to drill and tap the WP.

Not to hijack your thread, but I have a question. Are you not running the hydroboost? It sounds like you are not, and if so, are you running a vacuum power brake booster, or no booster at all? The reason I ask is I'm looking for the plug that goes in the back of the intake on a hydroboost truck, and have the fitting for the power brake vacuum hose, and wanted to see if you were interested in trading?
