Title: WTB: 1967 Eldorado Brake Master Cylinder W/Factory Disc Brakes
Post by: Flyer on February 21, 2018, 11:25:37 AM
Previous owner of my 1967 Eldorado replaced the master brake cylinder with the wrong part. I need the correct part GM#1490237. Anyone have one they will part with? Thanks much.  Hugh Dean

Hi Hugh,
I replaced the master cylinder on my 67 Eldo about 18 months ago. I searched all over the net for a new one and could only find one at a low price of $500. After the sticker shock I went down to my local parts store looking for help. They couldn't find the part in stock for the Elorado but they had one for the Toronado. We looked at it and it's the same part and it's in my car now working perfectly. I paid $49. Maybe you could have the same luck. I bought mine at LORDCO in Vancouver BC. The guy that found it for me really knows his stuff. I expect that most parts guys would be working off of a part number and wouldn't think of the Olds angle
leaving you empty handed. If you can"t find one let me know and I can ask my guy. You can email me directly.
Cheers
Jeff
