Earl's Front Brake Lines and Rebuilt 1989 Disc/Disc Master Cylinder
I have Spohn's big brake kit, so I didn't need the Earl's front brake lines. I rebuilt my master cylinder, but decided to go with a 1LE version instead. I'll take $20 for the brake lines and $40 for the master cylinder. Prices are negotiable, but not much in this case. Thanks! For anyone that is truly interested, I'll take a pic of the master cylinder and send it out. It looks new and only had 80K miles on it before I rebuilt it.

Is the brake booster still for sale? I have Baer Front brakes (not big brake) and borg warner 9 bolt w/ disc. Will that booster work or would you recomment the 1LE?

I consulted with ebmiller on this subject, did a lot of searches, and just plain found out information from Kragen and the local Chevrolet dealer parts guy. I'm pretty sure you already have the right master cylinder if your car originally came with rear drums. According to my resources, the 1LE and the 84 and up disc/drum master cylinder are the same part. If not, you need one from a rear drum car. I just got mine from an '85 Trans Am at the Fresno Pick and Pull and then rebuilt it with a kit from Kragen. I think it has to be 84 and up disc/drum, but you might want to verify that in case I got bad information. Here's where I got most of my information: How to Upgrade to 1LE brakes. If you haven't also replaced your proportioning valve, you might want to do that as well. The part numbers for those are also in the link I provided. Unfortunately, the master cylinder I have would work on your car, but isn't what you need.
