Master cylinder code list

[Kurt S]

I thought a list of the different master cylinder codes could be helpful. The codes appear in the 68 and newer Buick, Pontiac, and Chevrolet chassis service manuals. Anyone able to add the Oldsmobile codes (section 5 of the manual) or the 1970 Chevy?
I kept the list short and simple, so there may be more info in the service manual.

More info on Camaro brakes: http://www.camaros.org/suspen.shtml#Brakecomp

5460346 and 5469309 were the oval disc brake master cylinders. The 346 was used 67-68, 309 was 69 and later.
5470409 was the rectangular master that came out in 1970.

Kurt - "EB" is the code for 1970 Camaro with power brakes...assume it's the same for Firebird as well.

Added.
Can you see if there is a table of 1970 master cylinders in the 1970 Chevy chassis service manual? In the 69 book, it's on page 5-16.
It's not in the 1971 manual, btw.

The 70 Pontiac table had many empty rows - it was not complete. Confirmed via another source that 70-71 Firebird was EB.
Thanks!

I have 1972 Chevy Nova SS Master Cylinder with a OX stamping. Anyone know much about this stamping?

No,there's nothing in the 1970 Service Manual,nor the 1970 Overhaul Manual either.
There's just a footnote that says,"See Kurt S."

I believe BE is 1972 Chevelle w PDB

Could also have other applications.

Thanks for checking the manual Rick!
The master cyl info is not in the 67 and 71 GM manuals, but it is in the 68-70 Chevrolet, Pontiac, and Buick manuals (except missing in the 70 Chevy manuals).
Someone will have the Olds manuals to check.
I haven't seen the info in a Delco Moraine catalog - did they print a master cylinder catalog? This is one for the boosters. The parts manuals are poor sources for this type of information.

BE has also been listed as 70+ full-size and I think it had many applications in the early 70's.

UT code for a 70 Nova if anyone wants to know.

Rebuilt BE "409"
