anyone ever heard of using a corvette of the same year master cylinder.

suppose to be able to apply more line pressure.

just because it's from a Corvette doesn't automatically make it better in every way.
what are the specs (bore size, etc) of the master cylinder in question, and how does that compare to what you want it to replace?

A smaller bore master will give you more line pressure but you'll have more pedal travel. G-bodys used several different size masters.

So is the converse true? Does a larger bore give less pressure and less travel? I would think then the pressure your leg needs to exert would be higher.

Yes Dave. On my car setup with b-body brakes a stock 24mm (.950") master had soft pedal but great braking power. A b-body 1.125" master the pedal was good but lacked brake power. A 1" master has a good pedal and good brake power.

Thanks Dwight. Do you have a part number or application for the 1" master you recommend?

I read somewhere on here that there are some corvette manual MC that will work.

Cutt, I got an s10 manual box on ebay delilvered for 65 bucks. I'm putting it on today. I'll try to remember to post results back when I'm done.

My buddy just spent 400-500 bucks or so on the Flaming River box.

Do you know what car that came on originally?

 

[dwkohout]

I looked it up for 81 cutlass diesel with hydroboost.

Thanks. I wouldn't have guessed that one!
