  1. yeah i think your master cylinder size is correct.. i justA went and looked at the bore size on my master cylinder for the 64 which is 4 wheel drum and boosted .. it is 1 inch .... interesting how you said it braked good with no assit .... kind of points towards too much vacuum ! which is going back to What last indian said about booster size, gees its justA diaphram... theres nothing to them !
  2. Very sad to even look at !!!. i too think that its beyond reincarnation !
  3. thats another box ticked John, we are running out of ideas..... i have had a Plymouth with what i call sticky front brake drums even after replacing the shoes it still was sticky to the point a wheel would lock up, and i had to replace the drum itself. question for you, have the front drums been reserfaced ? and if so how close to maximuim are they ? if they are close to max diametre thay can move around and cause stick braking. Other than that i think for the cost of a new master cylinder, i would try a new drum drum unit. And justA for interest, try disconnection of your vacuum line to the booster and see how they behave !

  7. John, i have a question for you ... when you brake hard are the front brakes locking up? even to the point the steering wheel gets riped out of your hands while turning ? Last indian is correct, your car should be 9inch booster, and it certainly looks to be a 10.630 Reason i say that is that master cylinder does not look correct for your car !
