Master Cylinder ???????
« on: March 06, 2007, 11:44:03 PM »

Tell me if this is the same as the type that everyone sells. Its a 1987-1995 type and the oem part # for this is 4294865 which superseeds to 4509082.

I believe that one works best if you have a canted bulkhead i.e.the firewall is slanted.  Not one I would get as the first choice in a Dart or other pre early 80's car.

agree

Get one for an 81 dodge truck .  It is aluminum and should have a rectangular ( not wedge shaped resivor )  was designed for front disc and rear drum , but i have used it with rear discs as well.  They are cheap from autozone as well.

are those two bolt MC's?  the one in mine, while fully functional looks like a junkyard special the last owner rebuilt (a lot of surface rust, no paint etc).  it just detracts from the clean look of the engine bay a lot.

go to the junkyard and swipe an earlier rwd resivior. they just pop out, pretty sure that is the only difference.

What are you using for a spacer or adaptor to mount it to your firewall?

What kind of piston did you use?

I would Not take a Chance with a MC from the auto wrecker , MP lists one for cars under 2800# and one over 2800 # They sell the 2/4 bolt adapter , the adjustable pushrod , and adjustable proportioning valve. One of the Best and cheapest perhaps is Rick Ehrenberg on E-Bay   http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&sspagename=ADME%3AB%3AFSEL%3AUS%3A1&viewitem=&item=4647348753

Another thing I forgot you will need a rubber dust boot for the back of the MC . Rick Ehrenberg said that it's not needed but it's not a bad Idea . It's only $5 and you can get one from MagnumHP There is a Good Tech piece about Brakes and other stuff there. Good people to deal with too.   http://www.magnumhp.com/mastertech.php
