does the t56 m/c reservoir line come out differently than the t5 m/c? I am having some clearance issues. also... can the t56 m/c hookup to the t5 slave cylinder line...and can the t56 m/c and braided line hookup to the t5 slave cylinder? I have posted a pic of the problem i am having.

 

They both come out at the front you shouldn't have any clearance problems unless you drilled the hole too close to the brake booster.

Here this is the T-5 one

 

yeah but this is in a malibu.

 

No, the connections are different.

I don't remember the T56 res. line coming off any differently but I'm forgetting at this point.


The g-body is a pain in this regard. I've thought about a few things around this. Using a 91-96 b-body booster and a spacer might work; the pushrod has a .25"(?) offset, and is 1" longer or so.

A friend is running an f-body brake booster (bracket holds it away from the firewall.)

tap the master & do a 90 degree fitting.

So I've experimented with all of the above, and ended up adapting mechanical linkage to a 95 T56.

 

I ended up using a piece of 3/8 hard fuel line to run the res. line up along the brake booster to fix it. it seems to work so far. I also had to change to a later style monte booster...83 and up I believe.
