master cylinder

[billmdonn]

I have a 1987 Avanti convertible. The master cylinder needed replaced, so I purchased a 1987 Monte Carlo master cylinder. It was not the same set up as the master cylinder on the car. What master cylinder would a 1987 Avanti take?

On my 87 the casting number (2227121) was on the bottom of the original cylinder.

the master cylinder casting number shows it fits 1967-1971 Ford car & truck.

I don't know if this info is pertinent, as I don't have an 87 (mine are 71 and 80), but I sometimes write part numbers in my Avanti parts book when I see them, and I have these by the master cylinder entry:

NAPA 36259 (NAPA parts stores)

EIS 64874 (industry standard number, brake suppliers/wholesalers might have them)

Might be worth looking to see if either might be the one you need.

Or, sell me your car and let me worry about it :>)
