jleonard Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 My repairman identified the master brake cylinder as a likely suspect of a problem, however he says the master cylinder he is looking at in the car does not seem to come from a 1987 Monte Carlo. Does anyone have any information regarding what it really is? Many thanks. JIm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim S Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) I believe I once saw that the master was from a Ford, but I cannot remember the year and model. Edited July 20, 2023 by Jim S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the one pictured... any use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jleonard Posted August 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 Thanks guys. My mechanic identified the master brake cylinder as from a 72 Ford (I don't know the model). Have not yet tried the brakes as when I went to start the engine, it made a clunk sound and nothing else. He suspects starter issue. Glad it happened at the shop and not on the road. Many thanks for your responses!! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
