There are referencs to deep and shallow push rod holes and different MC set-ups earlier in this post. That's what I was referring to.. Sounds like you may have to bring your MC to the store and compare a few different ones to get a match. It may have been modified or the original MC and booster changed in the last 40 or so years to something that's non-'64.. You may need a '70s era MC or booster??

I think that someone junkyarded the brake booster in my car. I did have to add a steel bar to the inside of the MC, because the rod was not long enough. If you were to buy a brake booster, you have the pick of the litter for booster size and rod length.
Heres one that looks like it will fit from a 1987 Bonneville. 90$$$

Or you can try these universal push rods from Speedway. All but the very last one listed are $9.99 each

Hey guys, I just wanted to keep this simple-- from a single to a dual m/c, my engine has a cam that makes a booster a pain. I have returned my new mc and will spend my weekend at the parts store getting this all figured out! I might just wait and get the new engine and trans ironed out and then change over to disc fronts.

Did we ever settle the lines front and back?
I currently have the front brakes installed on the rear most reservoir. Should I swap them? DRUM/DRUM Thanks Dave

Hi Dave, sorry I won't be any help here, I went back to stock set-up just to get it on the road. I will run a single MC until I switch to front dics. I am still interested in the outcome of your mc brake line placement.

yeah, the brake stop FAST!!!! I think this might be because of the rearmost reservoir on the front brakes.

Yes you need to swap the lines. The front brakes connect to the front port of the master cylinder. I' ll scan some pages from the 67 Pontiac service manual and post pictures if you would like to see proof.

I have done quite a bit of research on the internet and at a car show over the weekend. I did not see a single dual master equipped car that had the front brakes controlled by the front resevoir. I just completed a dual master set up on my 63 with a 69 Bonneville dual and I have the brake set up with the front brakes being controlled by the resvoir closest to the firewall. I can't imagine that out of the 100+ cars that I looked at over teh weekend all of them had their brakes done incorrectly.

Dave,
Don't be confused or misled by bad information. I've attached 3 documents scanned from the 67 GM Pontiac Service Manual, brake section, that show the master cylinder and lines hooked up the proper way; front brakes connect to the front port of the master cylinder and the rear brakes lines connect to the rear port on the master cylinder. Read the document paragraph marked by the arrow, it clearly states how the lines are supposed to be connected. I also included a picture of the disc brake system which is connected the same way. The info is the same for both Tempest and Pontiac vehicles. This information is from the official Pontiac service manual, not some BS off the internet. If you have any questions send me a PM. Bob

Ok Guys,
I've been watching this debate for quite some time, so its time for me to throw in my 2 cents. By the way, I didn't make this sh$t up, this is right out of Pontiac Performance docs. Joeg

They may be touchy because, with the lines being hooked up as they are, the higher pressure front mc piston is actuating the smaller rear wheel cylinders and causing a tendency to lockup. How old are your brake lines, they may be rusting inside, so check the brake fluid for rust setiment and tiny rust particles. Also check for the obvious grease or oil contminants on the shoes/pads and drums/rotors.
