Need a new master cylinder for my 71 Caprice
Looking up the car it's telling me I need M76162 but it doesn't have a recessed hole deep enough for the rod coming out that my brake pedal pushes forward.
m76160 Looks like what I need but seems to be out of stock at alot of places.
Can I rebuild my old m76160?
Did they come with the m76160 style originally? Can I easily convert so it'll take a M76162? I have one.
Any tips appreciated.

Welcome from Florida. Both Amazon and Ebay have listings for master cylinders for a 1991 Caprice. They also have rebuild kits. You will have to look and see if they are correct for your application.

Might look into availability of a compatible push-rod, or
fabbing one, or modifying a junkyard duplicate for length?
Seems peculiar that a mainstream app would not have
reman master cylinders available.
I see " '71 " and " '91 " in this thread. Is that adding to
confusion / bad "hits"?
