    Yes, I was referring to the plain steel wheels.

      Hi Folks: I'm installing dual master cylinder/ 8" power brake booster in my 58". Wanting to do know do I leave the old booster in place (mounted inside) and just disconnect vacuum hoses to it, or will there to much resistance with new booster? Thanks for any help.

        Jim, when Howard and I did our dual MS/Dual 8" Power Booster conversion, we just left our KH unit under the dash alone. I do not remember if we disconnected the vacuum hose to it. Perhaps John ~ jopizz can shed some light on whether or not you should. I think... we might have left it hooked up, but am not sure... That has been many years ago now...

          I would just leave it in place. With no vacuum going to it it should not have much resistance.
