well i run into another problem. i took my master cylinder into the local napa for a rebuild. they sent it in, and it came back "not rebuildable" it is the bendix style. the rebuild shop said they cannot get parts. has anyone got any ideas !?
-
Unless the cylinder bore is really pitted, I'm not sure what parts are unavailable.
You can buy a Wagner rebuild kit at the local parts store, "US" code is listed in their book.
-
The parts are avail.at NAPA.I just purchased a kit for the 309 cylinder.When I disassembled the master I found pitting so will be sending it to Whitepost Restorations.
-
I bought a reman master for my 69 SS for about $20 or $30 with the intention of using the new parts in my original. I ended up just using the reman master on my car, keeping my original on the shelf for a later rebuild, and paying the core charge. I bought a Wagner rebuild kit in the begining and found it didnt have all the parts I needed.

i just checked and this is a "309" master cylinder. and napa said no parts can be found. so if someone knows of the proper part number rebuild kit,and were to find it.. please let me know..thanks
-
A 309 is a Delco Moraine isn't it? Not a Bendix. According to CRG the Bendix is not original. I have the same, am changing to a 309.
-
Only the Delco 309 "US" master cylinder is correct. Send it to White Post and they'll brass-sleeve it and rebuild it - they have the parts.

Thanks John, that's what I thought. Since I've been messing with my MC (which is the tall Bendix style) I've seen SOOOOO many "original" cars with the Bendix MC. I mean like a hundred. I'm wondering why so many cars have the wrong MC on them.
-
That's what my 68 had on it too. Must have been the main replacement at the auto stores.

Some '68 built '69s have a US stamped 346 master.

I bought a rebuild kit from Napa about 5 years ago with the following part number on my receipt.
BPR - 20-120500.
The box which I still have says 501 on it.
Hope that helps.

I was told the same thing. You know what I did...? I bought a rebuilt master cylinder for $20 and gutted it. The rebuild kit only comes with the bushings and springs. Gutting a rebuild master cylinder got me everything...including new pistons. I then returned the empty master cylinder for my core deposit. It worked fine for me.

That's a good idea, what was the part number and where did you get it?
-
FYI,
I just ordered another one from Napa yesterday and picked it up today for $32.99 with the part number #501 on it.

I was hoping sdkar would give me the part number on the rebuilt master cylinder? I need the new piston.
