PA Brake Master cylinder ? will this one work?

My Master was leaking from the bottom of res. 88 GXL

I pulled the master from my parts car, 86

The one from the 86 doesnt have the electrical connection on the bottom, just the sensor connection.

I took the res. off of the 88GXL and i dont see why it was leaking, the seals look to be in good shape, i will atempt to rebuild it later.

My ? is
1. what is the bottom connection for?
2. can I use the one without the connection?

I getting new clutch in tommorow and i need car mobile by Friday.

Please help me out here

thanks in advance

how many lugs does the 86 have? the master cylinders have different part numbers when used with the HD brakes.

im sorry i should have gave more info

the 86 had a 5 lug swap done by previous owner, and 4 piston fronts put on the car, i had no problem with brakes on that car, the engine has a streetport.
I would hope if he had a streetport done, and 4 pistons on front, he changed the master. He was and older guy in his 50's, not just a noob, he also had a couple of 88 turbos.

the 86 was hit hard by a hail storm last august, and the clutch recently went. Not worth the time to repair.

I swapped the engine into my 88GXL

I just wanna know if i will have problems with the electronics, if I dont use a master with that connection on it.
