The single reservoir you have sounds original. I suggest going to a duel reservoir and a power brake booster. If your single fails your out of luck. With the duel you'll at least have one set of brakes. Front or back. Depends on what circuit goes out. Try this site. http://www.hotrodssuperstore.com/maspowbrak.html

What little fluid was left in the master cylinder had leaked out and it was now empty. Good thing the emergency brake still worked. > > Would I be better off replacing the whole master cylinder or should I try a re-build kit? My current master cylinder has the screw on cap while the replacements seem to have the clip that goes over the cover. Which one is correct for a restoration? > > Napa auto parts lists 2 types of master cylinders. One is for heavy duty brakes w/metalic linings and the other is for non-heavy duty brakes with metalic linings. What is the difference and how can I tell what is on my car? I have 4 wheel drum brakes. > > Napa also has the power booster for the brakes (87.00) which I would also like to add. It doesn't look like the AC/Delco ones in the Chevelle catalogs that go for about $230.00. What is involved in adding this to the car? > > Thanks, > > Gary > > > ----------------------------------------------------- > To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html > To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ----------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
