Description:
The master cylinder sends brake fluid to both the front and rear brakes. Some signs of a bad master cylinder are easy to spot, such as leaks around the cylinder or reservoirs. Other signs, such as a very soft brake pedal or a pedal that sinks to or stays down on the floor, can indicate problems from just about all of the brake hydraulic system. Some signs are more difficult to notice, such as a spongy pedal that won't go away after proper bleeding or contaminated brake fluid. Regular brake fluid changes and occasional inspections of the cylinder are both good ways to spot problems with the cylinder. Genuine, original equipment (OEM) replacement.
Note:
The 70-71 model brake master cylinder is set up differently compared to later models. Specifically, the larger front brake reservoir is located toward the front of the car, with the front brake tube also connecting to the forward port of the cylinder. The smaller, cylinder shaped rear brake reservoir is located toward the rear, closer to the brake booster (the rear brake tube connects to the port closer to the rear). The brake tube ports are also mounted closer together compared to the later cylinder.
