I took delivery of the AMX yesterday and it is everything the seller said it was. But it has regular brakes and it is difficult to stop when you are used to power brakes. It has discs up front and drums in the back. So is there a car that I can look for in the parts yards to scavenge the power brake booster and master cylinder from? Or can I use the master cylinder and add the booster from another car.
 
Thanks for any help.
 
Later!

You will need the proportuning valve, the booster and master, the cowl to booster bracket[which is bolted on the booster] and the 4 retaining nuts that fit the bracket, also a vaccuum port for the intake to supply it. Matt will need the manual pushrod from you, and the two little brackets that hold the mastercyl to the cowl. It actually sits against the cowl, but has those two little straps over it, and he will need the nuts from that, as well as your proportuning valve. You both might find you can leave the prop valve in place and try it first, if it is too touchy, then you would need to trade them as well. Hope that helps. By the way good to hear you found an AMX!  SH

Master cylinder available new from auto zone. Boosters are a problem, no cores! Up to 80 I believe are the same, with one exception. The studs on the booster that holds the master cylinder on, on the later are metric. Bolts inside are still american. Thus allowing for a different part number. Anyway I have everything, worked when I removed. Lines, valve, booster and mc with rod. I would go with a new mc though. On the power disc set-up the lines are on the fender side. Not sure on standard brakes. Basiccally any small bodied car. If you know any part stores who still have the books you can check what all years used that master cylinder. May be able to get the Cardone part number also. Hope this helps.
