brake master cylinder help>>

[slowma70]

I recently purchased a 89 Supra N/A 5 speed which needs a new brake master cylinder and i need help choosing which one. I'm assuming it has ABS but i have no ABS indicator in dashboard. I looked under the hood and it has the abs modulator thing(pic below). So whats he difference between non/abs and abs master cylinder? Any recommendations of which one to buy? Where to buy a good replacement? Thanks

You have abs so you need abs master.

Sorry if it's kinda a thread jack but can a guy run a non abs setup while still using the abs master cylinder? (in otherwords delete the abs)

That one is prolly going to be hit or miss.

Just order the rebuild kit and rebuild it yourself... Takes about 10 minutes (besides removing/reinstalling). I think I used a Toyota kit for the MKIV, but maybe a kit from NAPA for the MKIII. Good luck!

Also, a rebuilt MC will have been checked for bore wear/tolerances as well. I trust the rebuilt ones w/lifetime warranty from the auto parts stores like Autozone. Done it w/a couple of my other Sups. Takes aboout 20 minutes to remove/replace the MC and should be fine after bench bleeding it. Any issues, just take it back and replaced (usually without a hassle).

Edit: Only had 1 that was bad "out of the box." Rear brakes were "dragging" the car. Argued w/the counter guy for about 2 minutes and they gave me another one.
