I swapped my Brake Master cylinder guts with a newer one, but I still have the front to rear fluid leak

I was hoping to install a 94 style but the one I have is bad, rear port is clogged it seems

I am debating on swapping to an F-body one like I did on my 89, but I want to know if the fittings for the little 'u' hard lines are still avail..

I don't want to cut mine up if I don't have to for the retro fit

fixed it tonight.. Reservoir was cracked in 3 spots, I think it happened when the hood tried to shut with the ECM sitting over the MS (oops) good thing I have a bunch of spares

Yeah I did that on my 89.. I might get a camaro one to put on the shelf, but I have 4 89-91 Master cylinders in various states.. LOL

I would like to know more about this conversion. If you would not mind throwing some light on this subject....please...is this just a straight swap of a LS1 camaro M/C on to our 90 power booster...is it that simple?

TIA

basically, but you need the fittings for the Camaro master and you need a 3/16" spacer between the master and booster.. If the fitting for the camaro master and the Zr-1 ones to mate tot he flex line are avail. you could make new short lines like our cars have..


I have 3 spacers cut, I am keeping at least one for myself
