Hi, I have a 1967 CJ5 and my master cylinder looks like this item. However, the description states it is for 46 -66 model year. The master cylinder that your company says belongs on my Jeep is a dual reservoir. Can I use this cylinder on my 67 CJ5?
Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
This is the correct master cylinder for your CJ-5 as long as you have 9" brakes. Typically in '67, the CJ-5s had 10" brakes and had a dual reservoir master cylinder. So, as long as your Jeep has 9" brakes and the master cylinder is mounted under the driver seat of the vehicle, this is the correct one for your application. Thanks

Hi, My brake pedal goes to the floor.The cylinder is full and I bled the lines but did not get brake fluid out of the left rear bleeder. Could this be the plunger in the Master or what do you suggest?? I don't see any leaks. Thanks, John
