Well guys, a few lessons learned from this project.

1.) Check your brake push rod to see if its needs a shallow or deep hole for the master cylinder. It might save you some machine shop headaches!

2.) Patience. How long has this swap taken from idea to reality? I don't want to know!

But, here are some pics of the master cylinder install that works with these brakes quite well :D

Its an '88 manual S10 quick take-up master cylinder with a 15/16" bore (not counting the third piston...which is HUGE). You can't just bolt up these MCs (master cylinders) and go. You have to turn down the O.D. of the MC that fits into the booster.

Early Moraine boosters have a smaller hole than the late model Moraine boosters, thus you need to chuck up the MC on a lathe and take down the O.D. to fit.

Yep, that's a line lock & proportioning valve underneith it.

The the pedal effort reported back on the drive is "Great!" & "The car has never stopped this well before!" :D :cool:

Just thought I would entertain you guys for a few minutes of your day graemlins/beers.gif

Take care!

How did you manage to chuck up that thing on a lathe and turn down the end? Magic? :D

Tony I am convinced that Joe has some magical metal working elves hiding in his shop...

Oh and the new links work just fine with Netscape now. Have I said lately that Bill Gates is the devil? graemlins/angry.gif

oh and Joe ya might want to proof read this a little

"In order to run the tall B-body spindles on our A-bodies we need to turn down a B-body spindle to fit in our A-body pockets."

The magic elves prefer to be called Umpa Lumpas.
