Tilton 7/8" Master with the Speedway quick disconnect line. Stock T56 slave, no issues so far. Be sure to buy a remote bleeder too.

For the F-Body set up the only place that I have seen that sells it complete which is the master cylinder, reservoir & line and the steel braided line that goes to the clutch slave with the quick disconnect is the G.M. Dealer part #12570277 for around $140.00-$175.00 have to shop around.

all of the ones I have seen from the auto parts houses only have the master cylinder and reservoir hose, it will not have the reservoir or braided line with the quick disconnect, you can probably source those used but its going to be a hassle and then there still used. Although the AutoZone master cylinder replacement which is still just the master cylinder and reservoir hose is a Raybestos unit and is what the G.M. set up uses matter of fact if you look closely at both master's you will see the raybestos part # the other post that is using a Tilton will not bolt up to the adaptor plate you bought without some type of adaptor that Tick peroformance will not sell separate, you have to buy their whole $300.00 set up.

I have not bought it yet, but american powertrain has a complete setup with the adjustable wilwood master with a remote resovoir (sp?) if you need it, stainless line, and HRB, and an adjustable bracket for the firewall. It is kinda pricey, I think it is ~ $500, but it comes with everything. Pretty fine piece.

I just use a GM master as listed above and made the adapter plate using the template in the FAQ. No issue in 5 years.

Will the tilton use the factory plug in type line?Im not worried about the angle,I will build a mount with the correct angle for it.Is it a better piece than the camaro factory setup.I am starting from scratch in a 66 chevyII so which should I use?
