Master Cylinder W/ ABS

The master cylinder went out in my 1987 Turbo Coupe, and I'm having one hell of a time trying to find a new one.
Does anyone know the part number for this or even where I can find/ buy one??

Thanks, trying to get this turd back on the road before winter comes again.

Well good luck, it's Turbo Coupe specific and AFAIK is long since discontinued(one from similar year LSC may work but AFAIK aren't available either)... Most just swap to a vacuum booster and conventional MC but that does require a bit of plumbing work...

In the real world those rarely fail, generally the relay that operates the pump fails so there is no boost assist... Relays are just a few bucks...

By chance could you direct me to a thread with the swap to a vacuum booster system?

Much appreciated!

The Teves I I master cylinder (used in the Turbo Coupe and Mark VII) is avaliable rebuilt for around $900.

For $900 I'd rather spend my money and massively upgrade my master cylinder to something from a high end company.

I'll probably be going down the conversion road, thanks again for the links Aerocoupe!
