Radio ad? Damn, we've hit the "Big Time". Finding the part number was all I could manage from home.

Try me on monday. BCA isn't my brand, so you might end up having to go to the 'other guys'.

You're looking for a 206-LOE in BCA/National. Doesn't look like it crosses to CR/SKF.

When guys give me a hard time for asking questions, I usually tell them, that I'm not just making conversation, that I actually want to sell them the right part on the first try.

As far as computer vs paper catalogs, it's all about using the right tool for the job. Some companies just print shitty catalogs. Some have useless web catalogs, some don't transfer well into the "standardized computer catalog format".

This is it exactly. Specific year/make/model knowledge is way less important that problem solving, deductive reasoning, and being able to read between the lines in the catalog, whether is on the computer or paper.

I've been joking for years that I should write a book about working in the auto parts business. Problem is, some of the stories are so bizarre, nobody who hasn't been there would believe it.

I made it kinda late, and somehow forgot to take any pictures.

The part number that 340doc posted is a two bolt plastic reservoir master cylinder. Originally for mid 90's Dakota, with I believe a 24mm bore. There are at least 6, maybe as many as 10 master cylinders that look the same, just with different bore diameters, thread sizes, and some don't have...

Pedal pressure is feels very normal for Mopar manual brakes. A little on the heavy side, but nothing bad. One buddy couldn't believe it was manual brakes, after driving it he had to check under the hood to confirm there was no booster. Also, you might find that the Raybestos part is actually...

I have that Raybestos master cylinder on my 70 Duster with manual single piston calipers, and it works just fine.

Looking pretty good in the pictures, there Chris.

At least the weather's cooperating with you Chris...

Years ago I worked at a shop with a Mustang Dyno. I could spend hours ranting, but won't. 215 is a reasonable number for a mild 360. Mine made 205 or so depending on tune. Best way to look at it is as a baseline. You're at zero, how do you improve from here? Remember also, that peak hp is...

I wouldn't worry too much about replacing the bolts. The torque spec is only about 7 ft/lbs, isn't it?
