Subject: [Chevelle-list] master cylinder
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
