Hello guys! I'm in the final stages of my Astro hydroboost conversion. I'm using a master cylinder from a late 90's Astro van and was wondering if Chevy master cylinder reservoirs are interchangeable? I really don't like how mine is angled and how tall it is. (See Pic)

Also, the Hydraulic shop told me they had another guy come in the other day who was doing a hydro booster conversion and that he had a 1968 Bronco as well. If it was a member from here I'd like to see how yours came out and you can see mine as well.

Agree Your choice is inappropriate.
A 77-82 Corvette will be correct and will be dimension-ally like a Ford MC.
These units are appropriate for disk/disk or disk stock drum communally used. My HB uses a 79 vett and I used it with chevy disks and stock drums for a while. Now it has the Cad rear disks and still works fine.

I went through at least 3 corvette/ camaro MC and they all leaked and were a pain. In the end I just got the astro MC and swapped the reservoir for an S10 reservoir and everything is good. Just throwing it out there. Theres a pic of my HB set up in my garage.

yeah I heard the Vette Masters are prone to leaking... That is awesome Zimm!!! What year is your astro master from? I'd love it if an S10 reservoir would pop right on!! My MC is from a 1998 Astro van

I'd have to check, I think it's from a 93 or 95 astro, and I think the s10 was same year, maybe a 91? You could go to autozone or whatever and compare yours to the s10. For me the s10 res snapped right onto the astro mc
