Need a master cylinder

I have a 1979 c10. I am looking for a master cylinder with the bleeders. Any idea who sells them? Can't seem to find one anywhere

Re: Need a master cylinder

Any auto parts store should have them... you bleed a master with the fittings they give you and some hose or you buy a kit at a tool supply or ebay

The kits are good. My preference is to bench bleed using some hose, lengths of flared hard line, and a jar. Just a system I have developed over the years so you can observe air bubbles without dropping them back into the reservoir and possibly pumping them back into the cylinder.

Re: Need a master cylinder

Measuring my rod in the booster. It looks to be about 1/4" shorter then the old one. Would that make the difference to cause my issue? Can I lengthen my shaft by just unscrewing it? Or so I need to buy a new booster? Both booster and master cylinder are new. I took the old cylinder back but have not found one I like yet
