Something like nine years ago, I was approached at a show by a gentleman promoting the Master Power Brakes.  They were looking for vendors of the product line.  At that time, I believe that they were pretty much new in the field of offering brake lines and systems.  What caught my eye was that they had done the correct style lid for these master cylinders.  I did not follow through with them as the product did not fit our product line.  But I wonder if this is the source for the reproduction caps and master cylinders for the Mopar line.  The website does not give much specifics or pictures, but I wonder what they may have to offer???

The repops don't look terrible but lack the markings of an original. But more importantly they seem to be prone to leaking / poor sealing, I know my brother went through several of them before giving up and paying up for an original & rebuilding it with the kit from Musclecar Research. No problems after that.

Good to know!  I will hunt down an original - if anyone has a spare let me know

Other than the valve and part number on the AAR booster what is the difference between the others

I think just the vacuum valve on the outside.

I am going to check through my parts this afternoon, but I am almost 100% certain have a booster, linkage and likely the spring that I took off of a 70 R/T Challenger about 10 years ago.   I read through the thread but didn't really see much with regards to what these parts are worth.  I don't have a 70 car at the moment and would like to see it be used on a car that needs the right parts.   Can someone give me an idea of a fair value?  I'll get photos of the booster, linkage, and part numbers.

:popcorn:  those are some deep stampings  :twothumbsup:   

I still need this booster for 70 440-6, discovered that my 70 318 with power brakes might have the same booster but I would rather not pillage one for the other.     Tonys offered one for 275 but stamping were faint.    LMK after some feedback might be interested.  thx

Ok will do. This actually came off of a 70 440-6 4 speed super track pack car that was wrecked and parted out in the late 70s. I got this off of what was left of it, which wasn't much!

@Jocigar
I sent a pm to @mopar1 about this part.  Your in line if anything does go up for sale.
Wasn't trying to "cut".
