I've been looking for a project

Master Vac Part Number was the same 69 up to 05/71.  #8987 would  have an 08/70 DOM.  Not certain when the Decal Changed, but perhaps it has been discussed in another thread here at some point.

Hi Carl,

thanks for the corrected information on #8987 build date.  I was interpolating dates from Zhome data.

I modeled the early master vac decal from Motorman7s ‘70 car which has a vin # hls30-02614.  Given

that, I made the assumption that this early Decal most likely was applied to all 1969-70 cars, but with

 no information to validate this assumption.

I ordered a master cylinder (OEM) to replace mine.  When I got it, it was a little different than my original, but still OEM.  I'm learning some things here.

 

I decided to rebuild my original MC. Here's what I found. Where the MC is inserted into the booster, the end is corroded. You can see in the picture.  is this still usable?  Also, I can't get the large nut off where the brake lines are attached to the MC.  A free stream of air goes through, but I still get the feeling they should come off?   

 

Thanks. 

 

Allen

I’d be happy to sell you a decal.  Given what has been said in the above conversations,

your car kind of straddles the annual changeover months.  Your choice whether you 

want the earlier or later Master Vac Decal.  The only way you would know for certain

would be to look up someone with a vin#/build date close to yours whose car still has

It’s original master vac decal.

I'll get back to this later when I work it out what I want to do.

I need a windshield washer fluid container.  I've learned that OEM doesn't necessarily mean the same as original.  I want an original container, any ideas where I can get one?  and how can I be sure it's original?

No ideas on this?

Where is the best place to get torque specs?  I’m installing my front brake calipers?

  • Author

I don’t know why I didn’t notice this during disassembly, but my front right caliper has lick washers on it and the left do not. Should I install lock washers on the front left?  

I've used 30ft pounds for the caliper to mounting bracket bolts for both my `90 Camry and my `80ZX.

They both have similar front caliper designs, so I used the Toyota spec. for the Z.

I'm curious to know a torque spec. For the Z as well. Too much torque on those caliper bolts can be problematic.

go to the XenonZcar.com  site and download the Factory Service Manuals.     http://www.xenonzcar.com/s30/fsm.html  

It's not in that manual.
