Caliper and Master Cylinder Info

First off let me give you the link to this super handy PDF master cylinder identification catalog from Cardone that has pictures, bore diameter and fitting specs. It is a little over 21MB so it takes a second or ten to download.

The master cylinder I use on my cars in place of the 10-1571 is the 10-1945 (less reservoir) 13-1945 (with reservoir) for the 89-94 Shadow and others which has a smaller bore of .827 giving you a better hydraulic advantage when the power booster is removed. This does require swapping out fittings or using adapters. I also am finding that instead of forking over for the high dollar adjustable rod that a much cheaper aluminum spacer will fit on the Mopar adapter with the long studs and set the proper length to draw fluid. The other thing I would mention that you may not know is that in 76 the single piston caliper piston size was increased from 2 19/32 to 2 3/4. By swapping to the larger piston calipers you can further increase your hydraulic power and advantage. The A, F and M body cars still use the D84 pads and so called 11" rotors but you will notice part numbers for calipers, kits and pistons are different from 76 up.

.827" seems pretty small, I don't think I'd want to go below 7/8". 15/16" works great, I really like the pedal feel with that combination. With .827" I'd be a little concerned about the amount of pedal travel, but I haven't tried it.

Also, the 2.75" piston calipers didn't just start in '76. They started on the A-body platform in '76, but all of the B/E body calipers had 2.75" pistons starting in '70.
