Hi,

got my new C5 master recently. I didn't do my homework up front and of course the master don't fit the 64 booster. The pushrod is way long. Can I cut the pushrod or do I have to get a new booster?

I need to find a proportioning valve and the brakes line to the master cylinder for a 1967 buick GS 400 I also need to figure out a away to install an additional adjustable proportioning valve up by the master cylinder. I have tried OPG, and Year One and they don't list the affore mentioned lines. I need help I want to get this car driveable again.

You probably intended to post this question in a separate thread? Anyways, I have made my own bracket for the prop valve and line-lock. It mounts to the booster bolts. I don't have pictures of it right now though.

The lines are easy to make yourself as long as your not using stainless steel tubing. Also, get a NPT to inverted flare adapter to connect the brake line to the prop valve

try looking at 68-72 booster, it might work i think its different.
as for mjoc1 if you have an adjustable prop valve you dont need stock type valve,just a t block for your fronts. the adjustable prop valve lets you keep adjusting till you get it perfect.

Like Monza suggested, a new booster with a short pushrod would solve the problem. Otherwise, you're stuck either shortening the pushrod you have without damaging the booster or making a spacer to go between the booster and MC to offset the pushrod length issue.

Here is how I mounted my adjustable proportioning valve, on a bracket fabricated from 1/8" thick aluminum. Bought valve from KORE3 with my other brake parts. It had a Summit Racing label on it, but when I pulled that off, it had Willwood under it!
Notice it is on a Buick. Like the GS Club of America says, Go Fast With Class!
