One original 1st generation powermaster brake accumulator left at www.nos4gn.com

Just give up on the Powermaster and go to vacume brakes, Thats what Im in the process of doing unless you absolutely must keep it original.

I know...I'd like to give it a shot at staying "as designed". If the mastercylinder goes out...it's vaccuum time.

Last switch I bought was $150 accumulator if you can get it is $150 plus. The master cyl isnt the expensive part just the crap hooked to it. Sorry Im being so blunt but Im in the same boat as you and getting frustrated on this. Lots of options to go with on vacume brakes. I dont know if Ill like em but Im afraid I have no choice. I do have an extra accumulator that came with my car that has a pinhole in it. THOUGHT ABOUT JB WEDLIN IT AND TRYIN IT BUT THE LAST TIME MY SWITCH WENT OUT I WAS PULLIN IN A CAR SHOW AND HAD NO BRAKES. JUST VENTING A LITTLE GOOD LUCK.

I found a complete POwermaster set up here in town off a guys car 130K miles on it. Motor caught fire at a carwash. The accumulator should be fine...I yanked that one yesterday and will swap mine out tomorrow. If it fixes my problem, I'll order one from Kirban I guess. If not, I'll probably just go with a vac. set-up.
What do most shops charge to swap over to a vac set-up? (If I have the parts needed)

Im sure they will hose you but if you can change the accumulator you could prolly change to vacume breaks. Just need a friend to help you bleed them. Pretty straight forward swap.

Trust me...it's on the back of my mind that I say vac-brakes in my future. LOL.
