We stock the new reproduction brake bowl. Very difficult to find a good origial used one. This new reproduction bowl has been available for well over a year and can be bought from Cars Inc, GBodyParts, Poston, and us. (Kirbanperformance.com)
We carry the brake switches also but they are on back order. They don't usually go bad unless you have the original black switch. When they fail they usually blow the fuse.
One additional recommendation is flush your brake fluid when you change out the brake bowl. Old fluid shortens the life of what already for many Turbo owners is a high failure item the powermaster system.

have owned a few Turbo Regals over the years.
Not an expert, on the Turbo Regals but given a test I would score pretty high.

The brakes are working fine,BUT when I unplug the pressure switch it is wet. I wouldn't think that is normal. It is a black switch.

The black switch was a factory GM recall way way back when the cars were virtually new amazing your car still. I am guessing it probably has low miles on it.
You definately want to take care of this issue at once as that fluid could spray all over your engine compartment, that was the problem with the original GE produced black brake switches.
What you can do is go to your nearest GM dealership (one still in business) hve them run the VIN number since its a safety recall and if they have records on that VIN number they can tell if the recall was ever done on your car and previous owner never installed the switch or whatever. If records exist and recall shows it ws never done you got a very good chance of getting the new grey brake switch FREE from the dealership.
It is worth a try. That fails contact G Body parts or me denniskirban@yahoo.com we can probably sell you a good used switch off one of the cores we got. Generally the grey switches did not have any issues.
Whatever you do I highly recommend you do not drive your car with the black switch on it.

In that case, no one I know has a new one available. Generally they don't leak but blow the fuse. I guess try Gbodyparts.com or post under parts wanted and specify grey switch wanted.
I do not have any extra ones as I need them on my cores and I got no way of really testing them. Sorry....

Can't help on the accumulator, but you can still get the switches from a dealer. I was looking at AC Delco's website, and they list it as being available. Delco 18M755, or GM 18038508. I called them up and the rep said a dealer can order it from the manufacturer. I see online dealer prices of $105 & $115 for it. 
Would be interesting to see if someone could really get one...

I do have new ones & probably about 50+ good used units I have accumulated over the years.
I'm calling it a night but you can e-mail me Bweavy@aol.com or just give us a call 9am EST 252 332 8787
