Re: FOILED BY PERVERSE MASTER CYLINDER

[Skagdrager@xxxxxxx]

Follow-up question:
How do I double check before I install the replacement that it is different  
than the one in my car? Is there a way to tell if the parts store gives me the 
 wrong type again?
Also, regarding theory, is my assumption correct that if you put a front  
disc type master cylinder in a car with drums front and back, that it will  lock 
up the rear brakes way before the front brakes?
Thanks K and D for your answers and for anyone who can help me with my  
follow-up questions.
Paul
