[DeTomaso] Master Cylinder Replacement Solved

Hi Mike,

Did you remove the "check" valve on the drum side of the master cylinder? I
am sorry I forgot who just said they pulled it out by putting a screw into
it and pulling on it.

Remember drums needed a bit (5-10PSI?) of pressure to keep the cups sealed.
I do not think you want/need that pressure holding your back pads on.

Thanks Dave but I ended up finding the part that Hall sold me in 1992
and it fits perfectly.  It is part number E2TA-2155 and it's from a
Ford Ranger (83-85).  It has the same aluminum body as the what Hall
sold me and it has the same 15/16" bore as the original Detomaso
master cylinder.  I installed it yesterday and it works great.  Best
thing is it was only about $30, which is great as I'm between jobs!
Also thanks to everyone who chimed in on the forum.  Mike
