Speedway Motors 91035556 Details

When you put modern front disc brakes on your 55-57 Chevy car, you should update the master cylinder as well. The stock 55-57 drum brake master cylinder does not have the capacity to supply the proper amount of pressure for front disc brakes. This simple bolt-on power brake assembly will ensure your brakes are operating at peak performance.

  • Kit contains a 1" bore master cylinder with 1/2"-20 and 9/16"-18 outlets, 8" dual diaphragm booster, and a disc/drum combination valve (provides proportioning and metering).
  • Also includes line to connect the prop/metering block to the master cylinder and the necessary hardware to mount the booster to your original 55-57 Chevy brake pedal.
  • Measures 14-1/4" from firewall bracket to end of master cylinder.
  • Includes proportioning/metering valve

I haven't had the time to install it yet, but it looks like a nice kit. Wish it wasn't so much more expensive than the other kit when the only difference seems to be the piston in the master cylinder.

I installed this on my 56. The first pump was hard but heard a pop and from then on the pedal seems too easy to push even with car off. While driving the first press of the pedal seems somewhat soft but when you press again even softer and not much braking power. Brakes are completely bleed. Is there a problem with the booster causing it to lose vacuum or bleed off somehow? Should I exchange it?

Brakes lock up as i drive I recently purchased and installed this kit on my 57 chevy. I used this booster kit with your disc brake conversion kit for 57 chevy. When i drive a few miles my brakes lock up. The brake feels higher as i go but eventually locks up. If i let the car sit they release. What could be the problem? Someone told me there could be a check valve in the new master cylinder, or my new booster could be bad.

Difference between 91035556 and 91035557 Pictures look the same.....I want the combination for front disc and rear drum master cylinder and booster Also see that most kits that others sell have a combination proportioning valve and these unit has a inline dial.
