S-10 Brake upgrade?

Hey guys, I recently dismantled my 96 S10 Blazer and have a brake master cylinder and booster. I was thinking about mocking it up and maybe using this for a cylinder/booster upgrade.

My question is this: since the MC in the truck is the single line small resi style, and if i could get the Blazer MC to work, Would I connect the hardline to the front or rear port on the New MC?

This is what the MC looks like:

The S10 booster is one of the boosters that is compatible with my booster brackets.

When you change to a dual reservoir master cylinder, you must convert your truck to a split brake system.

How did the S10 booster work out? I was thinking of using an S10 booster.

I'm still ironing out the kinks of doing the job as it's my daily driver, but with the right bracket, it'll work just fine.

Re: S-10 Brake upgrade?

Is your truck disc/drum or drum/drum?

The S truck master cylinder is for a disc/drum system. The larger port and reservoir go to the front system, since the disc require more fluid displacement for operation.

Re: S-10 Brake upgrade?

the 96 s10 blazer uses the same MC as the s10 trucks, and they are pretty small. A good upgrade is the 98+ blazer MC, its larger for the dual piston front brakes, or even better, a 98+ booster and a 99 fullsize MC
