67 impala convertable
It's been 15 yrs since I had my 67' SS Impala convert. but mind had a
electric motor with two flex cables out both ends that were driving two jack-screw rams. The motor was mounted on the kickup in the trunk. A long time ago someone told me that not too many makers used Hyd.pumps because if you sprung a leak under pressure you would have a BIG mess on everybody and everything. If yours has a pump I would think that you could fill it like a power steering pump. Have you taken a look at it? Rick |

Original was brake fluid though most everyone uses power steering fluid now even in the systems designed for brake fluid. The easiest way to add fluid is to pull the back seat and you will find the pump on a shelf in the middle of the seat back. You may be able to get it from the trunk if your skinny and nimble. It has a fill port on the pump. Couple words of caution.... Don't run the pump with the fill plug out and don't over fill the system. Your system doesn't "get low". It is leaking. Quite often the ends of the hydraulic rams leak. You can get these or any other parts you need from http://www.hydroe.com/ . He is a great guy to deal with and has everything for convertibles that you can imagine. Steve B. |
