• Forzfed: Nice!  What model?  I'm currently in the process of restoring my 81 SRX440.  And in the quest for parts I now own 3 SRX's and 2 Vmax's.
  July 12 2020, 01:49:39 PM
• Forzfed: And many parts.  I have 5 spare hoods and 2 extra tunnels.

• earlbrown: That's cheaper and easier than doing a TH350 swap.      ....and will still deliver the extra heat, shitty gas mileage and buzzy road experiance the owner is hoping for.

• Just a Six?: Who knows the larger rear brake cylinders we used back in the day? All I can remember S-10 manual trans but what year was it early 80's? 
  August 03 2020, 01:28:35 PM
• ULYCYC: Yes S-10   GM # 18012305 You can cross it over to the brand of choice.

• Just a Six?: Thanks Ed I think one of mine may have a little leak in that area
  August 03 2020, 04:46:32 PM
• Just a Six?: Any chance you know which year? I'm trying to find it on Rock Auto because GM discontinued them I did find one on E Bay but Rock is better to deal with for us up North
  August 03 2020, 05:04:36 PM
• Just a Six?: Looks like 83-88 are the same according to E Bay but no mention of Manual Trans
  August 03 2020, 05:23:31 PM
• Just a Six?: I mean Manual brakes

• earlbrown: Keep in mind, the goal is to have larger bores in the cylinders. Over the years the part number has been superceeded a lot of the time to the smaller bore units. Because ''they fit''.
  August 05 2020, 11:58:02 PM
• Steve Wood: Also remember that those larger cylinders work better with larger front brakes.  Otherwise, you may find your self spinning down a slick road when the rears lock up before the fronts.
  August 06 2020, 11:17:26 AM
• earlbrown: I've heard that over and over but I've never seen it.   To me it makes sence to run larger rears realitive to stock fronts because we usually run wider/stickier rear tires.  Kinda puts things back in balance.
  August 06 2020, 01:32:10 PM
• earlbrown: Not to mention, those 'small' rear cylinders were specked out when the Regals had skinny 14" rears from the factory.
  August 06 2020, 01:33:00 PM
• Steve Wood: too bad you were not in the middle of Hwy 6 with me during a light rain in 5 O'Clock traffic when I had to hit the brakes at 35 mph.  You would have had some experience to add to your already impressive resume.
  August 06 2020, 03:55:39 PM
• earlbrown: Odd.  I've drove my shit in the snow with pretty bald BFG T/As, in the rain, etc..   And I've always locked up my stock fronts first.
  August 07 2020, 05:27:36 PM
• nocooler: Mine would always lock the rears up first with the big cylinder. I changed a couple other cars back to small cylinders as the owners didn't like it. I found if you leave the shoes loose they aren't as bad. I would adjust them tighter before going to the track.
  August 08 2020, 03:55:56 PM
• Just a Six?: I have no stock proportioning valve so I used to run an adjustable valve when I was driving 3+ hours to the track every weekend but took it out years ago. If it happens to rain & the roads get greasy I head to the slow lane because I've had the back end jump out on me although I also had no front sway bar at the time & it was a bad combination especially on a windy rainy day. I've never thought about going back to stock but since my track days are over this discussion has me thinking about it?
