Master cylinder.
General comments?
Was in a bind and bought it for $200 from a pawn shop. One of the best cars I've owned. The motor never quit.
Manual steering was a pain in a wagon, and she wasn't fast, but she always rolled on and never complained.
I parted her out when I dropped the tranny for a clutch job and saw I had lost the rust wars. The motor lives on in a Dodge Dart somewhere in southern LA.
