P-Pumped conversion

OK guys,

I have a 1975 Dodge crewcab that I want to put a P-pumped CTD into, I have a donor first gen for some parts. Motor mounts, rad support, etc. When done it will be going the E-bay way!! My big question right now is---How do I get the pump to clear the brake booster/master cylinder??

Use a smaller booster or score a hydroboost setup off a later 2nd gen.

The master cylinder is not an issue with a 1st gen p-pump truck. It will clear.

I believe the clearance problem will be with your fuel filter. not the injection pump. The filter can be relocated.

use a hydraboost unit for the brakes... and ditch the OEM heater/filter/etc. and go w/ a FASS... not that you need to, but that stuff is so cluttered!!!! that's high on my list for my truck

I will, right now I can pull the FP down to 20-22 ish on my 12valve, the one going into the 75 will be MUCH more radical!!
