This was from a '71 TA supposedly. You know the story but I'm not a big numbers guy. Any help?

Wick, You need to look at the two letter code on the front scalloped area on the top side of the master. It is a machined pad in a semi circular pattern. If it is from a 1971 A or F body it should be coded BE.

I've seen MCs with both the BE code and an EB code. I thought EB was correct for the 71 pontiacs and BE was for something else.

Pat the EB master is the 1970 code but I would imagine that some early 71’s could have had them as well.

This is an EB. It's not easy to get a clear pic of the B but it's a B. The guy had painted it with some sort of epoxy paint that was a little on the thick side.

Not sure if the top is original but the rubber is long gone.

EB is correct for '70-72. There are also large and small font EB's to be found. Some say the large font was for 'A' bodies only.

I bought many 2nd Gen parts from a guy in Arkansas, he was early 2nd Gen only. Owned many '71-'74's over the years, HO's and SD's only. Bought several new with the master in question coming from his '71 he purchased new and was hit broadside a few years later.

That's the story he told me.

Wick...do you want to sell this? No delivery needed LOL.

Hey Jim, what's up? For you I'll make a sweet deal. Do you need it for your '71?

I'm willing to sell, it's in my parts inventory with no use for it. Hell, I almost threw it away a few months ago.

The original master cylinder off my old 1971 Trans Am. It was a Norwood car, with a build date of 02B. You've gotta look hard to see the EB stamping.

Thanks Chris...sweet deal. See you soon.

My 71 TA has its original EB master as well. 12C VN car. I also have another EB and booster that came off of a March VN car.

Anytime Jim. Greg was kind enough to give some info with a resto place for rebuild and detail.

BTW, I have the original rotors and drums from this care as well. Are they worth keeping for someone? I say that but the rotors do or do not have the groove in '71. I want to say my '71 GTO had grooves.

I reckon I’m a little late to the party, but I’m looking for a BE Master for my early built 72 TA built 094. Any help would be greatly appreciated

There're a few guys on here with a good stash of knowledge and parts, I'm sure someone can help you out.

[ramairhart]

Sorry I’m actually looking for a EB master cylinder. Unfortunately my dyslexia and old age kicked in at the wrong time.
Thanks

Have you got a caliper?

Looks like the date codes are incorrect.

The drums are 399360, I've had a few PM's about them.
