If you mean do I disassemble the master cylinder and rebuild it, no, I don't do anything but make sure parts are clean, look presentable on your GN or T, and they work. Again, I sold hundreds of these kits with no complaints. In fact, I took this ad off the board for a year because I couldn't keep up to the demand. Still the orders arrive, and again, as you see, no complaints. I don't see what all the fuss is about. I GUARANTEE ALL THE PARTS I SELL TO BE GOOD.

Hate to burst your bubble But I actually bought this kit from you, about a year ago; When my mechanic (reputed GN tech) installed the brake pedal you sent, it set very low to the floor. My mechanic told me you sent me the wrong pedal. I took the car to another reputed GN mechanic, found the same problem. I contacted you via E-mail and explained, you told me all your pedals are Regal pedals, and there was nothing you can do about it. Anyhow, I ended up getting the right brake pedal from a junk yard. You may have sold hundreds of brake systems without faults, but you got me that time.

Well, look, why don't you start a new post and complain about it. There are only two types of pedals ... powermaster pedals, and vacuum brake pedals. I know what I sell because I have sold hundreds of kits. I damn sure didn't send you a powermaster pedal. Secondly, I am alway helpful to my customers, so it's impossible I told you I couldn't do anything about it. I don't get over on people by sending the wrong parts. You and your chevy mechanics, don't know what you're talking about.

I bought a kit from John a few years ago for my old WE4. Everything was used but VERY clean. You could tell effort was taken to clean the parts, not just toss greasy parts into a box. Everything worked fine.

I was in a hurry for a brake kit and didn't ask before I sent my money if he could send one next day...he couldn't. But he sent my money back immediately. He didn't have to but did. Thumbs up to somebody won't put the screws to you once they have cash in fist. I cant imagine him not delivering what he says and NO hes not paying me

John is a great guy!
I've had my vacuum brake set up for at least 3-4 years now. I got mine from John and I have not had a minutes problem out of it, so you can rest assured that what he has is mint and will work just fine!

Hey John, just finished up the conversion and everything works great, thanks again! John is a great guy to deal with!!

Complain about it? Too petty....My intentions were never to slander you or your business, Like I wrote priorarily, I am sure alot of people have found benefit from buying your products. Truthfully, your response is reflective of your arrogance and high opinion. FYI; My mechanics do work on chevy's and 8-9 sec. Buick GN's & Mustangs amongst other things. In fact, my mechanic has an add on this very website for a long time. Also, I have good knowledge of GN cars as I have owned them and worked on my cars. However, FYI, at the time you sent the wrong peddle, and were of no help when I contacted you, I went through some major pains to find the right peddle. When I finally located a pedal off a 83 Regal, my mechanic installed it, and it set high off the floor like it was suppossed to.

Like I said, there are only two types of pedals, power master pedal and vacuum brake pedal on G-bodies. It's impossible I sent you the wrong pedal. Your mechanic ****ed up somehow, lost the right pedal, misplaced the right pedal or whatever, and blamed it on me. There is no possible way I sent the wrong pedal. I don't have any pedals except pedals from G-bodies and they are all identical. Get it? Chevy mechanix like I said.

I'll tell you another story too, that I just remembered. A few years ago, one of the local guys had vacuum brakes with a LOW pedal, as you described with the setup your mechanic supposedly installed. However, my local guy knew that the powermaster pedal was never changed. I changed the pedal for him to the proper pedal, again the only pedal that comes on ALL G BODIES with vac brakes, and this fixed the LOW pedal problem.

I suggest to you that your mechanic, or whoever he assigned to do the job, NEVER CHANGED THE PEDAL, and that's what caused your problem. Next time, if you want a job done right, DO IT YOURSELF.

just a quick question for you

Suppose I buy this kit, what else would I need to be ready for the changeover? I'm assuming I wouldn't need the TTA vacuum block? Can't I just buy some hose and tap into an existing vacuum line? My powermaster just took a crap on me and my brake pedal is rock hard. I start vacation next week and know I'll be fixing this thing while I'm on it. Thanks for your time.

*BRAKE FLUID! Actually, you will need a 3/8" vacuum "T", and tap into the PCV vacuum line just above the PCV valve. Run the third leg to the vacuum booster with 3/8" hose.

Shoot me an email and I'll send you information for payment.
