      C5 master, 64 A-body booster

      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?

      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.

      It's what I does.

      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!
