Brake Conversion

This discussion got me looking in my 65 Parts catalog and on page 5-8A the catalog lists Master Cylinder (Disc Brakes) - All Except Belvedere, Coronet and Imperial and shows a picture of the single master cylinder, then a gasket, then another part called a plate, then the additional reservoir. I can scan and post the page if anyone is interested in seeing it. The brake section does not list any disc brakes for the Imperial but does show 4 piston Budd calipers for the big Dodge, Plymouth and Chrysler. From the info I first listed, it appears the big C Bodies used the same extended master cylinder. One thing I noticed is that there's no part number listed for the additional reservoir. Would I use it? Absolutely not unless I were doing a complete nuts and bolts OEM restoration for judging like Ulf did.

This got me curious, so I looked it up in my 65 Parts catalog and as Dartman said, I also could not find the part # for just the 5-39-19 additional reservoir... BUT on page 5-15 did find 5-39-3 "CYLINDER and RESERVOIR, w/Manual Disk Brakes... P/N 2660 786" (Valiant & Dart) & P/N 2660 791 w/Disk Power Brakes (Valiant & Dart)

And, "CYLINDER and RESERVOIR, w/Power Disk Brakes, P2, D2, Police... P/N 2534 325" (Plymouth Fury, Dodge Polara. Chrysler)

The above Part Numbers are for the SINGLE Bowl reservoir MC as has been pictured on this thread with the added fluid capacity reservoir for Disk Brakes !!!

So I learned something I did not know... But I'm still glad I did the dual bowl MC upgrade when I did my front SSBC disks on my 65 Cuda...

All's good... Clif of Az.:coffee2:
