I am looking for a rebuilt, new, or someplace that I can have my old cylinder rebuilt in my area. I have had no luck with all of the supply places here in of all places Bowling Green, Ky. It is for a 1966 with power brakes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Agree - White Post is the BEST there is; I wouldn't trust anyone else with a master cylinder as valuable as yours. Website is www.whitepost.com, phone is (540) 837-1140. Billy Thompson is the owner - tell him I sent you.

Do you have any idea what a original gm (not the reproduction one that was un authorized by gm) 65/66 dual circut master cylenders pricing is today? Well I can tell you when I was shopping for one I heard of 2 cores at august corvettes of carlilse both of which by the time I found the booth were sold one went for 675.00 and the other was 725.00.these were cores with no screw in caps thet needed to be rebuilt.
I finally found one rebuilt and paid 850.00 for it and was happy with the price.I had a online add running for one for about 18 months some one last month emailed me that they had one N.O.S. in the original GM box and there asking price was 1200.00 plus shipping

If I was to have it rebuilt I would make sure I was using a highley recomened company and with an endorsement as john has given white post I would definatley use them with the understanding they would rebuild yours and send you back your.

If you dont want the original style master cylender then sell it as a core and put that money to other improvements on the car you could easley get a replacement master cylender for about 100.00 whitch is less then what youll pay to have yours rebuilt .Good luck and welcome abourd
 
Thanks guys, What I did was found a rebuilt 1967 and adapted it to the car. It fit great. The one on the car turned out to be a 1965 according to the Delco numbers. I am not sure when the car was built but my guess is it was an early 1966. I am foing to hold onto the 65 and have it rebuilt someday. Any body had any experience with corvettpartsman in Flordia ?

As far as I know the part numbers are the same for the 65 and the 66 the diference is that the 65 has smaller ports needing adapters to connect the brake lines.

I am not sure when the car was built but my guess is it was an early 1966.
If you look under the glove box there is a silver plate see example below and the number b28 on mine tell me the car wa built in october 28th 1965 tell me the numbers off of your and I can tell you when it was built.
