[Chevelle-list] brake master cylinder
I want to replace my master cylinder on my 66 Chevelle. All reference material to the car and year points me to a single reservoir unit. I currently have a dual unit installed but it is very tired and looks crappy. My question is will any dual master cylinder work or is there a specific model I should be looking for. Thanks
Re: [Chevelle-list] brake master cylinder
You need a master cylinder made for your year auto.You might be able to get others to work,but they probably be more trouble to install. --- On Fri, 5/30/08, Peebles, Lorne (Services) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Peebles, Lorne (Services) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Chevelle-list] brake master cylinder To: chevelle-list@chevelles.net Date: Friday, May 30, 2008, 12:59 PM I want to replace my master cylinder on my 66 Chevelle.

Re: [Chevelle-list] brake master cylinder
Depends on wheither or not you have drum/drum or disc/drum. You will either have two the same size or one bigger than the other. Replace with the same kind. Dan

I have disc/drum set up with large/small tanks but how do you tell what will be a suitable replacement for I didn't do the conversion in the first place.

Re: [Chevelle-list] brake master cylinder
I am sorry to interrupt but was it woirking ok before? Was it a Power assisted brake setup? (look for big doughnut behind master cylinder?) Does it have a proportioning valve? It's probably just a matter of getting a replacment with the same piston size and number of chanbers.

Re: [Chevelle-list] brake master cylinder
Most LIKELY, the master cylinder was from another chevelle or similar GM car. I'd go to a good auto supply store and ask to look at master cylinders from a 68-72 chevelle or camaro. Look for one that has the bolt pattern ( I THINK ALL GM are the same) and also it must have the same size outlet fittings for the brake lines. Really should not be much of an issue. Let us know how you make out.

[Chevelle-list] Is there really a high flow water pump?
Hello all...I have a 71 SS 402 and I am still fighting the summer time over-heat monster. I plan to order an aluminum radiator soon but I remember someone telling me that the so-called high flow water pumps are no better than a standard water pump. My overheating seems to really occur at idle (stop light, traffic, etc.). So here is the question: Has anyone really found a high-flow water pump for my car and if so, where can i get it and how much? Also, do you think the aluminum radiator will help?

Re: [Chevelle-list] brake master cylinder
FORGOT to mention. When you take the old master cylinder off, compare the back (firewall side) of the new with the old.The depression where the brake push rod fits needs to be the same depth on both. If one is significantly different, you will need to return to the parts store look for another new M/C that matches your old. For some reason, GM used 2 different size depressions during those years.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Is there really a high flow water pump?
Do a google search for Stewart water pumps web site.They are one of the premier names in water pumps. They have info on their web site that explains the differences in pumps. Not cheap but good quality and I'm sure that they have one for a BB. Whether its better or not , you'll have to decide. Do you have a fan shroud? If so, does the fan extend half way into it?Aluminum fan will probably help, but there are plenty of people running a BB with stock radiator fan who don't have overheating problems. There may be a simpler solution. Have you had the existing radiator cleaned? And what do you mean by overheating? Water steam out the overflow or the temp rises?

Re: [Chevelle-list] Is there really a high flow water pump?
The aluminum will help. I suggest Alumitech Reproductions...I just installed one into my 67 Nova, and it looks beautiful, and fit perfect. www.chevellecooling.com is the website I believe. They do make high flow water pumps. However just because it flows more, doesn't mean its better. It might cause it to flow too fast, in that the water wont have a chance to cool in the radiator, making your car even hotter. What does your cooling system consist of now? How old is your radiator?

Re: [Chevelle-list] contents of chevelle
Manual drum brakes were standard equipment with both power brakes and power disc brakes as options. If you are converting to power brakes (you say you need to order a booster) why not consider power disc brakes? Many companies offer excellent disc brake conversions. Do a Google search for disc brake conversions and you'll see a number of good companies such as Master Power Brakes, Stainless Steel Power Brakes, Inline Tube, etc. and priced from $900-$1100 in most cases and contain all parts (lines, booster, etc.) necessary.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Is there really a high flow water pump?
What I mean by overheating is that the temp rises substantially at idle and if I let it idle long enough, it would eventually bubble over (but I never let it get that hot). I do have a shroud and the radiator is 2 years old and is a 4-core. I have the standard clutch fan(new clutch) and also a small pusher fan outside of the condenser.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Is there really a high flow water pump?
Test show that if you have the proper capacity radiator that copper vs aluminum is a break even. Go to a 160 thermostat, flush the block, make sure your hoses are not collapsing inside (do not take out that bottom spring). Test the pressure of your radiator cap that's important for your over flow system. If you have a clutch fan replace with an aluminum flex fan. Make sure your fan blades come to the back lip of your shroud.

Be a little more specific about the brake trouble and someone may have a suggestion. Also most any auto parts store should be able to order a booster and master cylinder for you.
