Re: IML: 1990 Imperial? Master Cylinder

[Brad Hogg <luxoliner@xxxxxxx>]

I've called about the "recall" and the information Chrysler gave me was that
it was for the pump and piston only, not the master cylinder.  I've known
owners of the Bosch system who have had trouble with their ABS as well as
the Bendix units so I feel there is no safe alternative than to retrofit the
system to power brakes with no ABS.

Anthony.  I converted my system last December and I am very happy that I
did.  Please have a look at the article I wrote on the subject and post any
questions to the list or me directly.

If you are going to convert the system, keep that master cylinder, you'll
also need a vacuum booster and a couple other Dynasty parts.  I have no idea
what your level of mechanical aptitude is but this is not a terribly
difficult job, it just takes a few days as there are a couple areas that are
rather slow going.  You are miles ahead in that you have someone to talk to
who has done it though, I didn't.

Brad;

The parts store gave me a regular master cylinder, the wrong one. I only
paid 20.00 for it, which I have to bring back. One Imperial owner stated
that there was a lifetime recall on the Bendix and in your email you state
that I can convert it to a standard brake package. Is there anything
special I need to know to do this?
