Hi everybody, I have a master cylinder and power booster question. My V8 powered truck ( missing dont know why) was bought without either, so my question is does anything fit out of an S-10 or other car to replace my missing ones??. Over $150 for both online. any cheaper ideas :D thx
Marty

find a good set at a junk yard or a used parts store for cheap but make sure there is a good seal between the master cylinder and booster and then with your v-8 conversion buy a different proportioning valve for the bigger brake set-up it will be cheaper all the way around as i found out just check for leaks around the master cylinder or booster paint to make sure its dry instead of paint chipping off from brake fluid leaking on it!

oh yea do not detach or take the master cylinder off to ensure the right seal between them both as a heads up or you'll have major problems as well.

94 Jeep Cherokee and is aluminum my setup is run with the front to rear lines reversed and no proportioning valve but this will work as a good replacement and still use your prop. valve.
