Title: Location for ps cooler
Post by: terry_208 on 2024-06-21 00:37
I'm trying to figure a place for the ps cooler.  Normally, the ps wouldn't require a cooler but I'm using a hydra-boost brake booster.

I'm considering above and forward of the left front tire.  Does anyone foresee a problem with this location?  It will require a shield to prevent road debris damage.

Would it fit to one side of the grill off to the side of the radiator?

Would it fit on the top of the panel that is behind the grill below the headlight? You could add a vent hole(s) in that. I have a cold air intake on that panel (on the right side)

Terry, I added one for the same reason..also using a hydroboost. I installed mine in front of my AC condenser, which of course is in front of the radiator.

A PS cooler of that size can be mounted anywhere that is convenient.  It does not need to be in front of the radiator.  FOMOCO made several PS coolers out of a loop of steel tubing tucked along the frame.  All my cars have hydraulic boosters and manual transmissions but I still order radiators with transmission coolers.  I plumb the PS through the transmission cooler.

All great ideas! Thanks for the replies.  I'll look into running it through the radiator as I am running a 3 spd o/d, for now. I don't have the fender or panels under the headlights mounted.
