brake help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

i have four wheel disc on my truck i have a booster master cylinder and combination valve off of a mid 90s chevy truck. seems like rear brakes drag pedal is spongy bleed several times. i read on mp brakes site that disc/drum master cylinders have built in residual valves that will cause rear brakes to drag in disc disc situation.

i wanna go back to manual brakes so i need a master cylinder for manual brakes and 4 wheel disc. anyone know of something i can use from auto parts store. would rather not have to order one right now but if thats my only option what would be a good one.

thanks

i found 76 corvette manual disc/disc brakes. will look into that though the one for the vette is only 30 bucks though

the vette one may come closer to a direct swap.

I put a vette manual disc master on my old 72 with 4 wheel disc. It's now Outlaw72's truck. Orange and white.
