Hydroboost question

Post by Justin »

I need to lengthen the pushrod coming out of my Astro hydroboost 1/4" to account for a 90 degree spacer I'm putting in so that the unit clears the EFI intake. What's the best way to do this? I know the rods are interchangeable, but have no idea where to source one. Alternately, is there a different master that would work without the booster modification? Did a little searching, but my Google-fu appears broken.

You can add a spacer inside the booster itself, or add an adjusting sleeve to the rod itself.

What Kinder said.

I cut down a bolt and turned it into a pushrod.
