High boy Master cyl upgrade

Post by zack »

Hey guys, it's been a while, I'm hoping someone can help me out. I have a 79 f350 Dana 60 in the front of my truck, I'm using the 79 350 prop valve, but I'm using a 2wd 72 350 dual diaphragm booster and master. Can I put a 79 350 master on the 72 booster to help make it stop better? It stops but I think it could be better. Any advice would be great, thanks guys

The booster and master on it now is from a 2wd 72 f350 with front disks

Yep, I had a 69 booster with a 78-79 mc because the 78-79 booster wouldn't fit with the 460 valve cover. Worked great.

Thanks, I guess I will look into the 79 master cylinder and see if the braking gets better!
