As far as I can tell, there are no aftermarket parts on/in the brake system . The car came from the factory with disc brakes on the front and drums on the rear .I don't think any modifications were made to the brake system by any of the previous owners and the repair shop didn't say they found any modifications. I would hope if they found any modifications they would have told me.I'm going to call the repair shop and see if there is any warranty on the master cylinder.
How's work coming along on your Chevelle, Karl? Any updates / pictures ?

If the booster went, the pedal would hardly move. Are these original-style brakes or have you made any modifications? In other words, is this a drum-to-disc conversion? Aftermarket calipers? Any other aftermarket parts?
