Hydroboost or vacuum assist?

If it made 16 volts I’d suspect the regulator, even if it is acting normal now. Maybe it is related to heat?

That is no good. Would you consider going back to a conventional lead acid?

That is ok, as long as there are no pits.

Let me know. Can’t have any pitting. I may consider debts or dings if they are not sharp or creased

Any front windshield trim?

There are different OD sizes of input shafts on the 800 boxes. The newer ones are smaller. I’d ask the seller to measure it for you. The earlier ones are 13/16” (71-73 mustangs). A ton of the GM boxes are 3/4”

I had my 9” housing and brake caliper mounts powder coated. Brakes are the SN95 Cobra style on Mustang Steve adaptors. Where I had the powdercoaters mask got me into trouble as the powder coating was thick enough to give the bearing outer race room to slide back and forth inside the housing...

Anyone live in Indiana? Just drove through on 70. Man- the roads are jaw dropping. I kid you not we drove over one section of 70 that had a bridge abutment that was a car killer. If I would have been in my mustang I would have bent wheels, and would have smashed my oil pan, engine crossmember...

Just those control arms alone should give you 3-4 degrees positive caster added over the the stock symmetrical geometry.

What kind of pads / shoes did you use? Also, did you bed them in? Pad compound plays a lot into how they grab. Also properly bedding in the pads by doing several aggressive stops from 40-50mph to 0 will make a big difference. Make sure the drum brakes are properly adjusted, that the shoe...
