rageracing Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Rebuilding the brakes on my 34 PE. Was wondering if anyone knows of an upgraded master cylinder to use besides just rebuilding the original. Would like to go dual reservoir sine I converted it to all disc brakes. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andydodge Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 I've had 4 wheel discs on my 1940 Dodge since the mid 70's and use an Oz dual circuit master cylinder......what are the discs you have from and if they are a kit or whatever what master cylinder is recomended to use...........I would also suggest using a power booster as discs generally require a higher line pressure............as mentioned what are your discs & calipers?...........andyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rageracing Posted December 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 The calipers are gm from a late 70’s Camaro. The rear rotors are Jeep Cherokee and the fronts are from a mopar. I wasn’t sure these motors had enough vacuum to run a booster very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branded Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 No need for a booster, just match master cylinder bore size of the application. Smaller bore size of MC requires less foot pressure at the pedal. Contact ECI Brakes they may be able steer you in the correct direction. http://www.ecihotrodbrakes.com/brake_facts.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I think the '34 Plymouth uses pretty much the same master cylinder as the '33. If so, then the Raybestos MC544 master cylinder is a straight bolt in. That is, however, a single not a dual cylinder unit. Perhaps a look at cross overs on the MC544 would turn up a dual unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rageracing Posted December 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Thanks guys. Got it fired up last night for the first time in 3 years. Just need to wrap up the brakes and we are ready for the spring! Been out of a running car since I sold my 33 and getting real antsy.
