    Angry Replacing Master Cylinder..

     



    I have a 66 Chevy Impala, all drums. My master cylinder is leaking where the two bolts are on the booster.

    I know the master cylinder is leaking but heres the problem:
    What kind of master cylinder do I need to buy to replace it?!
    also I DO have power brakes because I was lucky enough to find the original sales sheet.. sooo

    There are kinds out there saying Manual brakes, Power brakes, some have this "With Metallic Lining" and some with "Without Metallic Lining"!

    I'm thinking I need to get this one but i don't know anything about this.. I'm just going to do a stock replacement.. I don't want to buy a rebuild kit because I'll have to hone it out.

    Is this a decent one? I don't have much cash on hand and I want it to stop leaking for safety's sake.

    Also I'm a complete moron when it comes to suspension, could anyone clue me in as to what all this replacement will involve me doing? Bleeding the lines and just simply bolting on the new master cylinder orrrr is there something i'm completely missing!
