'79 to '82 rear end swap BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER.
A long time ago, it swapped out my '79 LE rear-end (actually, my cars' rear end) for an '82 GSL LSD/disc brake rear end.
.
I DID NOT change the brake master cylinder.
.
All this time, I have been wondering if I should have also swapped master cylinders.
.
Would I get better brake performance with the '82 master cylinder?

Just got the LSD rear end stripped out of my parts car... Tomorrow is removing misc parts and hopefully sandblasting it so I can have it ready for paint and undercoating this weekend.

Yes it was a GS with GSL badges... I have purchesed my old 82 GSL and removing all GSL parts and moving them into the 83 GS with GSL badges. So it would be a GSL model once I am finished so if I am missng anyting that should be swapped over to make it a true GSL please let me know.

84-85 all have large bearings in the rearend therefore if you need an axle only for your gsl you could use one from an s or gs.
dave are you the original owner of the car? and does the car have power window?

no I am not the original owner, it was sold to me as a GSL but after some learning on my part I found out it has GS trim not GSL and it had GSL badges on it. No there was not power windows but now there are since I bought my old one back to part out and scrap. So I am pulling all the GSL parts off and putting them on my 83 that was a GS and now will be a full trim GSL.

yeah I went through the same crap when I was learning a good while back. I bought a 83 and the owner told me it was a gsl, his proving point was ... well it has a sunroof it turned out to be a gs as well.
