What master cylinder?

Postby Dirtheadz » Sat Sep 26, 2015 3:58 pm

So I'm running full width 44 (dual piston) and doing Chevy calipers on my rear 60. Currently running '76 (?) camper special M/C, that leaks like a mofo, and they brakes were sh!ty to say the least with my rear drums. So looking for some input on MC's. Couple things:

Yes they were bleed & bench bleed the MC...
Stock H block with no intention of installing a new proportioning or res valves...
Vacuum booster, with intent to do hydro later...
I have used the search...

My axles are '78 F250... So why should I not just run a '78 dual piston MC? Should I entertain a corvette MC? Keg is empty, Should I ponder this over more beer? :beer:

Curb weight of a Corvette is around 3200 depending on the model, engine, etc.

My super duty weighs 7800.

Broncos were around 3500-ish I think.
3/4 ton axles. 37" tires and steel wheels with bead locks. Cage. Tools. Sliders. Bumpers.

You see where I'm going. Same thing we talked about on the phone. I think you're making the right call.
