Not the booster but it is recommended that you change master cylinders.

brake proportioning valve from the LSD car. It is right off of the master cylinder, so if you get a new master cylender, get one with the proportioning valve.

its debatable if you do, but since itd be so cheap and easy to get, id say do it.

did you get new brake lines? cause 81-85 have a different thread pattern than 79-80.

Despite the contradictory views on necessity, there is, indeed, a difference between the two internal springs and possibly more. Coarse to fine thread adapters are also needed for the brake lines.

you dont need adapter.

RB and mazdatrix, i think, sale kits for 79-80 with 81-85 brakes. that or you can get 81-85 hard lines in the engine bay, 81-85 master cylinder and prop valve, and then get just the rear line from the body to axle custom.

In the 1st gen classified parts section post up a WTB ad. Want to buy. I'm sure that someone will have what you are looking for.
