Second, a B body is a full size GM car, IE Caprice, Impala, Delta 88, 98 Regency, Riviera. Mid 80's station wagons make great donor cars.
You will need a booster to fit an A body. A stock one is avai
proportioning valves go to the front/rear?

The F body booster is not a direct bolt on, you will need to make a bracket for it. The master cylinder will work, but an Aluminum one from a B body would be better (larger bore). YOu can go to any local auto parts store and get a new booster/master cylinder for about $130. Another set of spin
efully for $300, and some additional brake lines, I'll
be stopping with the best of them.

Thanks for the answer on the proportioning valve, but I don't believe I currently have

cylinder will fit on my power booster? I'm sure it will, but I was hoping that
someone knew already so I don't have to buy and t
You need a proportioning valve on your Malibu but you will need to change your
existing one. You will need a disc/disc one and remove your disc/drum one.

All questions are concerning my '65 Malibu:
Here goes,
I currently have power brakes on my '65, but it is a single circuit master cylinder.
Can I just bolt on a later master cylinder to my booster to upgrade to dual circut?
If so what year Master Cylinder should I use for a disc/drum setup?
I got a hold of a guy here in town about one. He's supposed to let me know
today. If he doesn't come through, I may be interested in one of your
original ones if you can find them. I'll let you know if he doesn't come
through. Thanks.
