Haven't had any activity for a while so I thought I would start it off with some technical questions
I am replacing the master cylinder on my 65 L79 malibu with Manual Brakes. (The original cylinder is to pitted to rebuild). It came with a 1 inch cylinder but as I am looking for a new one I see that the HD brakes used a 7/8" cylinder. As far as I can tell the rest of the components are the same. Am I better off using the original 1" or will I gain anything with the 7/8". I am restoring this vehicle back to original, it is far from numbers matching but I want everything to look as original as possible. There are quite a few different manufactures but the original delco is not available any suggestions on what to buy, Dorman, A1 Cardone, Centric, Reybestos, Bendix, or Wagner. I also just realized that when I replaced the floor I didn't replace the return spring retainer that is welded in. can anyone give me a measurement for the correct location, just the distance from the "Heel" or "toe" bends at the lower cowl area, this would have been a lot easier while it was on the rotisserie rather than back on the frame. I also omitted the speedo cable retainers if someone can give me an idea where they were originally locsated. Thanks Chum Nault
