Just converted to vacuum brakes on my 1 owner 87 GN and have this powermaster with about 120,000 miles on it. Died on me a few weeks ago and had fluid coming out of it and onto the exhaust manifold. Did not care to troubleshoot it just wanted it gone because my 9 year old son was in the backseat with me at the time. Not chancing this system again . Funny thing was the powermaster locked up the front brakes on my test drive in late '86 and I still bought the car. Includes pedal , vacuum manifold etc. Email me at frantz64@comcast.net for pic's . $100 plus actual shipping.

Kirban may be accepting those as cores and gives a $100 credit. That would be an option if he is still in need of them.

You should be able to get 80 pretty easy as i have sold 4 that way, after paying the 18 or so for shipping to kirbans you are only getting 80 something for it anyways, and his deal is store credit only. There is a cardone shop by me that i am currently working out a deal for them to accept cores directly from individuals, i will post what becomes of it.

Great idea projectmoneypit. Let us know cuz I have a few around.
You are lucky you got that many miles out of it. I've had numerous powermasters go out under 40,000 miles. I'm talking back in the early 90's also

I had good luck. My first gn I bought in 88 lasted to 60k without anything being replaced other than 2 accumulator bowls, 4 brake swtches, 4 cracked headers replaced , 6 rear main seal jobs. All under warranty . Then they voided the extended service warrant and sent me kicking rocks. Hence the new 92' LX 5.0 Midnight blue metallic hatchback. That was a mistake still wonder where my first love ended up...

Been there. I do miss my 04 cobra, but not the same as a GN. I have 3 or 4 powermasters around here still, but I switched to the hydroboost on the GN I'm working on now. Maybe I'll get this one to work how it is supposed to.

I have heard great things about the hydroboost. Im good so far with my pm unit but need a accumulator bowl. Im gonna pick up a cardone unit and be done with it. I was told that if you change the fluid every 6 months or so (suck it out of the reservoir) then put new fluid in, they will last alot longer.Been there.
