No such thing,power bracks on a 55 cj,as far as brake lights on ms theres a pressure switch 2 prong one hot other side wire to the lights .Hope this helps not much of a teck writer.

 

Glenn,new one on me thats what makes this site cool

 

Thanks guys, it is orig. to the vech. and works great, the CJ had the 11" drum conversion when I bought it and they work great. What is Hydrovac and where can I find out more info on it?

 

Ther were a couple of them on ebay about 2 years ago. Didn't bring much, kinda wished I had bid on them now.

 

Super Dave, any chance you want to get rid of some of the old engine components? CJ

 

Sorry Cee Jay, I sold the motor and tranny , I know where I might be able to get some stuff though what is it you are looking for ?

 

Just parts to rebuild for my Jeep later. Distributor, carb/carb pieces, oil cleaner pan, hard lines, fuel pump, voltage regulator, hose clamps, etc. All original style needed for resto. Also looking for straght M38A1 bumper, good "willys" speedo, back seat, top rods and bars, 2 little screws for front marker lights, etc. Any original parts for a '55 really. Any help is greatly appreciated. CJ

 

I plumbed one of those hydro-vacs into the stock system on my '56 before I switched over to 4-wheel discs. It worked great. I first bench tested the brake pressure on my stock system then tested it again after the booster was hooked up. I can't remember the numbers now but it was much better. Noticeably better braking. They are in junkyards and I've since seen them on ebay for about $50.00.
