The replacing of a c6 with t19. More than just the swap

Yes, there is an accumulator.  The FSM says:

A hydro-boost reserve system (accumulator) stores sufficient fluid under pressure to provide at least two power-assisted brake applications in the event the power steering pump fluid flow is interrupted.

The brakes can also be applied manually if the reserve system is depleted.

But I think your suggestion is a good one and I'll give it a try.

That doesn't sound like fun!  And that concerns me since I plan to take Big Blue off road, where stalling could happen.  But, I have a transfer case (BW1345) with a low gear and the ZF5 w/a 5.72 first gear, so hopefully the 460's compression will stop it if need be.

Gary, try Andrew’s suggestion and get the feel of a stall under controlled conditions... however I wouldn’t be overly worried about it if you are not hauling heavy. In my ‘81 it is somewhat worse than stalling with vacuum brakes but not that much worse. With the low speed involved in back country maneuvering I don’t expect it will be an issue.

I stand corrected.  2 pumps.

I'll give it a try.  Soon, I hope.
