Lyn, 1979 Dodge PU 2wd is what's on mine. Aluminum body w/plastic resevoir. As long as it hasnt changed part #'s, it looks and works just like the Lamb high$$$ unit.....

mid early 80's S10 master with manual brakes. I have bought 3 of them and never used a proportioning valve. When you buy one, sometimes they come thru steel instead of aluminum, so check the box before you leave the store. Never had a leak issue.

Lynn, I use a strange MC with no problems. It's been on my car for about 10 years. I think it's a 1" bore. Some of the mid 70's corvette MC will work with just front discs.

i just went through all this. a late 70's early 80's pickup is 1 1/8 bore, mid 80's diplomat is 1 1/16, and mid 80's daytona is 24 mm which is under an inch. BUT i put one on my car and dont like it and am gonna go to the diplomat. also most of the new mastercylinders are cast iron replacements but the rebuilds which are like 15 bucks are aluminum. hope it helps.

Disc/drum combo?

Dave Casey · 08-21-2009, 07:03 PM

Yes, the s10 only comes that way I think, and my race cars are disc/drum also.

Ok, we have changed direction and will be going 4 wheel disc.... Would this M/C still work?

Recomendations on bore diameter if I bought an aftermarket?
