**Need** Grand National Power Master Brake Unit

[colourfuze]

I need a power master on my 1987 GN. The only place I can seem to find one is Ebay 650 + 150 core or send my unit in. Is there a better deal anywhere? Thanks

Go vacuum or hrydroboost. Get rid of that powermaster. Search this one out. My powermaster went out on me while some moron threw a uturn in front of me at 40mph. There was never a warning.No brake light ever came on. The car had low miles also. under 40k good luck

Have you tried Kirban's? It's also aroung $600, but atleast you can buy it from a supporting vendor, that has a great reputation.

Basically a vacuum setup form an G-body, you should be able to get one here.

Vacuum booster
Master cylinder
brake pedal (different than Powermaster pedal)
Vacuum block w/port for booster vacuum supply.

A cursory forum search should get you all of the info you need.

Thanks for all of your help today fellas.. I went with the PowerMaster from Kirban for 630.00 with a 100.00 refundable core charge.. So $530 + 17 shipping.. I called my buddy James Kiddy and he has 2 GNs and 1 Turbo Buick. He has powermasters on 2 and vacuum on 1 and he said he prefers the powermaster when they are working so with Kirban having a lifetime warranty he recommended that I just go ahaed and make that investment. I did... Thanks again!!
